Michigan's defense had a nice day on Saturday and their worst drive was the 1st drive. I saw decent progress and the players seemed comfortable in a coupe of zone schemes. Now it's nearly impossible to see Zone coverages on TV but to me Mike McDonald from the Doobie Brothers mixed up the schemes nicely.
Here's what my eyes saw:
- Dax was everywhere and has a ton of flexibility in his Nickel/Safety role.
- Saw some flashes from Hill-Green at LB and can see why he is getting early playing time.
- Didn't see Michael Barrett much and think Hill-Green is taking his reps
- Pass rush seems to be an issue.
