Mailbag question: What kind of defense from Coach Robinson



Hello:

Can you explain more about the type of defense's that Coach Robinson might possibly use? You can of course, but I am just excited to see this team get better.

Thanks for the question and keep them coming because we are getting a little thin on questions lately.

Coach Robinson talks about two coaches influencing his philosophy: former Tampa Bay defensive coordinator Monte Kiflin and USC head coach Pete Carroll.

Coach Kiffin is a proponent of the Tampa 2 defense and Coach Carroll uses zone-blitz schemes.

In the past, Coach Robinson has used parts of both defenses. One thing we do expect to see is Michigan become primarily a four-man front defense.

At this time, we would not want to speculate too much on the style, scheme, etc., of the defense because we are not sure what Coach Robinson and Coach Rod have discussed. We should get a better handle of it once we attend the coachs clinic and when we attend spring practices later this year.
