Penn State Snowflakes: The Defense

Michigan Football = Fucking Pathetic

Fire Don Brown now.

Tackling clinic after tackling clinic, and new leadership.

The tackling? The position of the LB's in zones and run fits? I mean, the secondary was mostly fine because it didn't matter. When it did, they tended to give up throws. The unit looks lifeless, slow, poorly coached and not very strong. If you look at recruiting rankings you'd be surprised to see that, but the team is 100 lost. 

Penn State made 8 of 16 third down conversions.  50%. 

Michigan was already 96th in the nation at defensive 3rd Down ... 45.45% going into this game.  A 50% allowance rate is where #116 is. 

The poor tackling is even harder to watch than the poor gameplanning. Convince me I'm wrong.

Missed. Tackles. Everywhere.

Does anyone wanna go to the stadium now to boo the players as they’re going onto the bus ,  and then watch them cry about it on social media 

I don’t blame them, but they don’t try hard.  I don’t think it’s the main problem, but they all seem checked out.

What defense????

Worst tackling all season. Don Brown-go back east, after the game.

I think RichRod had better defenses. This is hard to watch. Once again Michigan football is a punchline!

Nobody holds assignments.   Like they electric static football game we played as kids. You'd set the players and then turn the electricity on and watch the play form. Those player pieces just went, and could not react. That's what it looks like with Browns defense.  Mindless running to spots. Paye and Kemp had bad games.  The rest of the DL just seems to blow contain over and over.    Wonder if Harabugh wishes he now listened to Mattison.  

FUCKING PATHETIC. nobody on defense looks like they are interested in being out there. 

I have never seen so many missed tackles in my life.

Hope Don Brown retires and goes on the coach his hometown high school baseball team.

Don Brown, the mental midget who watches his team repeatedly gashed up the middle and decides the answer to that is to blitz more guys around the edges, completely taking themselves out of the play. Pathetic.

Numerous RB jumps to the outside for big gains when it looked like they had a stop. 

Here is the 4th string RB and semi mobile QB running thru our D

4 years ago we had Hurst, Gary, Winovich, Bush, David Long, Lavert Hill, and Josh Metellus coming off the bench. Now we play 3 walk-ons and the ones that aren’t walk-old aren’t much better

DL gets pushed all over the field which forces the LB's and DB's to make tackles.

And they are lousy tacklers. No wonder they can't get off the field.

The underclassmen should be playing most of the reps.  The season is toast, and how much worse can they be?

PSU had 417 yards offense, including 254 rushing yards at more than 5.0 ypc

Josh Ross seems to be out of position every single play.

Gerg bad

Utter failure.  Don Brown should walk home.  He should never be allowed on campus again

So tired of seeing Shibley out there. He does not have the instincts and talent to play as a starting linebacker at the level required at Michigan.  So tired of all the high end linebacker recruits leaving and having to use walk-on’s.  Tired of seeing wall-on’s all over the defense.   Yes, the scholarship players on defense could be playing better, but there is no excuse for so many walk-on’s. 

How about defending the edge.  I’ve never seen so many plays where DE’s get caught on the edge and running backs and/or QB’s run off the edge for 8, 9 or more yards and don’t get touched.  Just pathetic.

No coaching and very little talent is a bad combination. 

Don Brown can't adjust a hearing aid not alone a defense. 

Defense is soft like the head coach

Just seems like there's zero chance for the program to recover without a new staff when they show that kind of effort. 

Probably we should have kept Mattison as defensive coordinator when Harbaugh was hired. Everything has gone to hell since he left

Don Brown needs to be fired but...

Go look at how many teams today hold their opponent to 27 points or less, and lose.  Will probably be able to count them on one hand.  
 

Don Brown is saying that and I have been saying it for awhile. 
 

In the off-season I said this would be the nail in the coffin season if it turned out this way. Received a ton of downvotes and “no one will be fired during a COVID season”. Funny how things change with results.

Players are not ready to be on the field and are not executing when on. 1 or 2 and you can put that on the players. When it’s the group that’s on coaching and recruiting. The DT recruiting is fireable on its own. 
 

If Harbaugh had any future then Don Brown would have been fired already.

Probably we should have kept Mattison as defensive coordinator when Harbaugh was hired. Everything has gone to hell since he left

We couldn’t stop a nosebleed
