Mailbag Question: What do you think of returning safeties?

Hi guys,

Great site-lots of useful input guys. What do you think of the returning safeties and is there a chance to convert one of the corners (Warren, Woolfolk or Floyd) to safety next year?

Thanks,
Max

Thanks for the question and comments. Until we are sure, exactly what Michigan is going to do on defense with the coaches it is almost impossible guess or speculate on personnel. Is Michigan staying with cover 4 and 2 schemes used this year, man schemes, or returning to 3 deep packages used in past.

Much will depend on which staff members return and who takes their place. We will have much better feel for what is happening after spring practices. We do agree with your hypothesis that Michigan does need to upgrade their safety play, and entire defense for that matter.

Also it depends on what commits come in for next year and the potential of those guys being able to play early. What do they do with B. Smith as well might be a big factor.
