Gregg Robinson is t-e-r-r-i-b-l-e, terrible

Blasphemy. Get ready to be negbanged. But I do agree somewhat. We need more pressure. We need five guys coming on almost every down. We rush just 3 way too much. It'll only get worse when we play against big OL. We should move be starting another DT in addition to Martin.

I think you have to give him a little more grace. Changing to this D is not that much different than our O changing from a pro-style to the spread. I do agree with you that the talent is there to be much more successful than this. I don't think enough attention was given to this transition with all the talk surrounding Tate and this offense. Today is a perfect example of why defense wins championships.

First off, Robinson blitzes often. I don't know what the fuck you're watching, but it's not Michigan. He's been trying to bring it. And FYI, the talent we have on defense is not exactly top-notch. You have two dreaded Walk-on White Guys playing significant minutes at LB and in the secondary. Morris' 85 yd TD was the direct result of a non-D1 athlete(#32) not being able to just tackle him after 15 yards. We are SEVERELY disadvantaged, talentwise, in the back 7.

I think he's doing fine. Our defense has looked pretty ugly at times, but the calls have been pretty good. I didn't agree w/ the decision to go cover two against ND right from the start, but I think he's doing a good job overall.

I'M OLD GREGG!

The thing I don't like is that the D steps it up when they need to-like in the Red zone. Why can't they play like that the entire game. And we are playing our CBs 10 YARDS off the line of scrimmage. What's with that?

what game were you watching? First off, IU had a nice gameplan, they kept Michigan off balance alot today, the pistol offense is not an easy offense to defend. Especially when you have poor linebacker play and right now Michigan has the absolute worst linebacker play in the conference and it is a talent issue. I would bet IU gave UM some looks they haven't shown so far this year and broke some tendencies as well. GROB had it dialed in better the 2nd half where I thought the D was more agressive and made some plays. They actually saved UM's bacon with their stops for FG's instead of TD's. The only really disappointing play in the 2nd half was the long run.......and that was a run blitz, called to that side and a terrible angle by the only LB who didn't get sucked inside. GROB's 2nd half pressure helped turn the game around, our offenses continued sputtering made it a nail biter.

LOUD NOSIES!

Greg Robinson is fine. I refuse to judge a DC when he has a walk-on and a position switcher at safety, plus a backup corner in for most of the game. We also have inexperienced players at Quick and very little depth anywhere at all.

We bent, but broke a lot less than most feared while watching the game, and we did it with a couple of walk ons, some freshmen, and a linebacker who just can't graduate soon enough and you want to run GERG out of town?

4-0

We know there's a lack of talent at key positions and almost zero depth. We know that the game plan seems to lean heavily toward "bend but don't break." We know that the last three weeks, things have looked really bad in the first half and marginal to good in the second half - those are called adjustments. We know all of this, and yet this is the second over-the-top, absurd, fire everyone because the defense is terrible thread today. Just relax. The defense isn't great. It's not even good. It's going to do enough to get us by most of the time, but not every time, this year. That's just the way it is and will be until we build some depth, get guys completely familiar with the scheme, and rebuild the program as a whole. Remember how bad the offense was last year? That was because of a lack of talent and, more importantly, unfamiliarity with the scheme. GERG is our third DC in three years. Think the guys on the defensive side of the ball don't have some catching up and growing to do, as well? The "sky is falling" stuff is just unwarranted. We're 4-0 and we should be ok with that. By all means, criticize and critique. Just stop the hysterics.

We should be 5-0 right now but thanks to Greg Robinson's continued "do less with less" talent scheme, we are not. I bet the OP misses Scott Shafer.

While I am very much inclined to say that this is not entirely Gerg's fault, which it isn't, I do have to wonder if this thread would be different if we just lost to Indiana for the first time in 22 years.
