Football Fundamentals - backgrounders on Michigan offense and defense schemes

Submitted by Jacoby on

MGoBlog football gurus,

Because not every MGoReader is an expert in football schemes, it might be helpful before the season begins for some of us to brush up on the fundamentals, particularly with regard to the types of offensive and defensive schemes that the Michigan will most likely rely on this summer. So for all you experts on fat man chess, what sites/videos/resources would you recommend (bonus for Michigan/Harbaugh-centered backgrounders)? I’ll add a few to start:

1.     MGoBlog’s Hall of Fame page has a great set of basic primers (scroll to “Football Analysis”).

2.     Perhaps more pertinent to the coming season is Space Coyote’s three posts on the forthcoming Harbaughing of the Wolverines. Space Coyote is, of course, a great MGoResource. Here are his recent breakdown on Harbaugh’s teams:

a.     Harbaugh’s general coaching tendencies 

b.     Harbaugh’s offensive tendencies 

c.     Harbaugh’s rushing attack 

3.     Maize and Brew has written about what to expect on Michigan’s upcoming defensive line after the Spring Game

4.     “ISportsWeb” has a short bit on Durkin’s tendencies:

5.     SmartFootball.com. Chris Brown’s blog helps break down football strategy. His new book is now available on Amazon for a mere 99 cents.

Not to toot my own horn, but I wrote a really good set of articles about DJ Durkin's scheme. It kind of gave the basis to the rest of the articles written on him. You should check them out as well.
