2016 Defense POSBANG
Jourdan Lewis, Jabrill Peppers, Rashan Gary.
What do I mean by that? Well, one of those players is going to be the third best defender on our team next year. Let that sink in for a little.
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:46 PM ^
2 of those 3 will not be on the 2017 defense.
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:52 PM ^
Most likely just one.
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:46 PM ^
Huh? Do you mean 2016
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:49 PM ^
I TOLD Y'ALL IT WAS MY FIRST TIME. JEEZ...
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:52 PM ^
I banged ya anyway.. bang bang
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:47 PM ^
You forgot about Wormley
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:47 PM ^
Ummmm, only Gary will be here on that list. The 2017 team loses a lot from 2016. Exacerbated by lack of DT's the last few classes.

If you are talking about 2016, don't count out Glasgow and Wormley. If you're talking about 2017, count out Lewis and (most likely) Peppers

Gary does help 2017. Lewis won't be here and Peppers may or may not be here.
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:48 PM ^
I'm all onboard with this thought. CRAZY to think about how good our defense will be.... But we are talking about 2016

I'm an idiot, sir. But it doesn't matter. Today I put in my notice at my job. Someone offered this idiot some grown up cash to go be an idiot somewhere else.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:00 PM ^
Good luck to you, 1484. What kind of idiot things will you be doing?
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:03 PM ^
Interface Engineer type things.
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:50 PM ^
This was a very poor execution of a POSBANG with confusion greater than posbangage. But my friend, I feel what you are feeling.

I love it bruh! But for 2016.

That is just amazing. I don't see anyone being able to compete against that defense next year, except OSU. I am sure THE GAME would be a fun one next year (for us).
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:55 PM ^
I haven't been this excited for the start of a season since...last year! But you know what I mean. With this new talent, Doc Brown, O' Korn, Walker, and a killer freaking defense?! We are gonna be a good team!
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:56 PM ^
Happy Blue Balls....
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:57 PM ^
Can you allow negative points on defense for a per game average? The part of me that wants to have unrealistic expectations is thinking that it might be possible with this team.
In all seriousness, this defense is shaping up to be a very nice one indeed. It will be fun to watch how things shake out, particularly as we head into August and fall camp.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:01 PM ^
If the linebackers are even serviceable, them this could be the best Michigan defense I've ever seen...
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:36 PM ^
I don't know... 97 dude

was a helluva D as well.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:03 PM ^
Yes sort of, if the defense scores more points per game than it gives up.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:12 PM ^
Defensive TDs = Negative Points
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:57 PM ^
I'm going to call you Plaxico from here on out. Got so excited to post that the gun went off in your pocket and you shot yourself in the ass. (metaphorically of course).
But I hit you with a + anyway. Because.. 2016 D y'all!!!
February 3rd, 2016 at 6:58 PM ^
I am really looking forward to drinking beer on Friday.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:49 PM ^

Bang bang muthafucka
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:04 PM ^
Oh that's fantastic news
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:05 PM ^
I'm not sure the scenerio, but I think this is the right gif.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:07 PM ^
Also:
-TWO senior safeties
-SIX damn good DL already on campus
Linebackers don't matter with a DL and secondary like this right?
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:17 PM ^
I know your comment is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but great DL and secondary play can certainly help make the LBs look a lot better than they are. And as you point out, the DL and secondary look pretty damn good even without the stellar (hah!) additions we got today.
Hopefully the LBs improve over the course of the season to be "combat serviceable" or better, because we will need them for our away rivalry games.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:10 PM ^
I'm gonna get so fucked up this weekend! 2016! Great class, great team, great future, great googely moogely that thang is juicy! Sorry I had to say that. Heat of the moment type deal!
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:12 PM ^
I just wish one of those guys were a LB.
Or we go to the 6-1-4 formation.
February 3rd, 2016 at 9:25 PM ^
5-1-5 actually

Ryan Glasgow and Chris Wormley at the moment are better than Gary. He needs one full year in the weight room before he really explodes.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:21 PM ^
He is very good too.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:25 PM ^
I wouldn't be as confident stating it as fact like you are. I agree with you for the moment , but a lot can change between now and August. Gary is going to be a beast. I don't think he'll need a full year to prove that

I'd like to see Hurst have a breakout year like Henry did. I'd like to see Taco turn into a monster like we've been predicting. If someone like these two step it up this upcoming season, watch out.
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:24 PM ^
Pay raise, sudden vast quantities of talent, and now we sign the #1 player in the country. Dude's gotta be asking people to pinch him. Should be a fun few years for him till he retires
February 3rd, 2016 at 7:53 PM ^
@mgoblog xmas at don brown house; his 3-4 scheme requires DTs and DEs to be able to play 3-tech and 5-tech. only gary and nkemdiche fit that

let's wait til Gary gets through a practice first before we proclaim him one of the top players. he might be a freak athlete but college is a whole different level.
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:04 PM ^
Bet you're a riot at parties

He will have to compete with some great players to be in the rotation but in the rotation he will be and soon. Freak athletes do not ride pine. Even as freshman. See Clowney and the ole miss kid goin pro this year. He is that type of talent imo
February 3rd, 2016 at 8:19 PM ^
IMO Ryan Glasgow will be THE top player on D next year.
