Coaches Corner: Player Development and The Michigan Tackling System -- Part 2

Coaches Corner: Player Development and The Michigan Tackling System -- Part 2

Looking at Coach Robinson's positions and players:

Quick / Spinner / Hybrid Defensive End / Outside Linebacker

B. Herron: Very Good against the run and does nice job in blitz packages, needs some work in coverage.

M. Evans: In our opinion, perfect fit as strong side linebacker for 4-3 defense. Solid against run and does nice job rushing passer, not as good in coverage as would prefer.

Watson: Very good position change, moves better than expected. Did nice job as defensive end with hand on ground in that package. Coverage needs work.

Lalota: Needs to improve strength and quickness, red-shirt would be huge help.

Weak side Linebackers:

Brown: New tackling system seemed to help, leader of defense and most vocal member. Much better fit at linebacker than ever was at safety.

Hawthorne: Very quick and athletic, always active. Feet are always moving and finishes tackles. Needs top get stronger and add some weight.

Jones: Really like this kid, very explosive and excellent closing speed. Might have been best blitzer this spring. If he picks up coverage's, he could really help this year.
