Wisconsin Snowflakes - The Defense
November 14th, 2020 at 11:04 PM ^
Fuck this team
November 14th, 2020 at 11:06 PM ^
The DBs look much better when the other team doesn't throw the ball at them
November 14th, 2020 at 11:07 PM ^
I thought that Wisconsin running fullback dives for 5 or 6 yards was a nice touch at the end certainly....right before I switched finally to Washington / Oregon State because Turnover Chainsaw.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
I wouldn’t call the group on the field a “defense”.

Don Brown = Defense Rich Rod
Once they figured out what was coming, no adjustment from RR or DB.
Exposed as the frauds they are.
Time to make a change. Brown needs to be relieved of his duties tomorrow.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:22 PM ^
Yep on his way out he should take Jean-Mary Nua and Zordich with him. Get an analyst or maybe Shoop to take the reigns for the rest of the year.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:27 PM ^
Shoop isn’t even on the staff. No one knows why.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:54 PM ^
I thought he was just remote for now. Maybe he dislikes all of DBs useless aggression.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:14 PM ^
We're going to need some tackles to plug up the runs. Looks at the 2021 recruiting board...uh oh.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:15 PM ^
Ross is too small and got blown up all game. Wisc knew this. Every other run was designed to take out Ross.
Villain never held the edge and Wisc also exploited.
Hawkins still doesn't know football. Might be great athlete but the experiment didn't work.
Barrett is also too small.
Make Kemp revert back to his NORMAL weight and play LB.
And still no DT
November 14th, 2020 at 11:37 PM ^
Kemp was never going to be a LB here, too slow. Personally I never understand why he was ranked as high as he was in HS, too slow to play LB, too small to play DL. Honestly kinda like that 2022 LB commit we have right now.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:25 AM ^
Yes⬆️
November 15th, 2020 at 12:26 AM ^
Yes⬆️
November 15th, 2020 at 11:49 AM ^
Did Barrett even play last night? I don't think I heard his name once.
November 15th, 2020 at 3:56 PM ^
I think Hawkins should be playing the Viper. Also he may have the worst hands i ever seen from a WR turned DB
November 14th, 2020 at 11:15 PM ^
Does the d have a dime or nickel package?
No accountability for bad plays
3 lbs covering the same zone on that 22 yard completion on a 2 man route
November 15th, 2020 at 10:40 AM ^
It happened on at least one other occasion. It looked like they had no idea where they were supposed to be. Completely clueless.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:15 PM ^
Positives:
Dax is a man amongst boys on this group. Excluding Hutch and Paye he is the only player who would even sniff the 2-deep at OSU.
Kemp gives it his all, but is limited.
McGrone at times can be good.
Barrett I think will be a good Viper in due time.
Bad:
Ross is awful. Makes me miss even Joe Bolden.
CBs are still terrible.
Hawkins talks a lot of shit for being a mediocre player on a bad defense.
Chris Hinton is looking to be the worst 5-star bust we’ve had; and we’ve had a few
November 15th, 2020 at 6:32 AM ^
Big Will Campbell
November 15th, 2020 at 7:51 AM ^
I’m sorry but McGrone has been terrible. He’s one of the biggest problems.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:16 PM ^
Couldn’t hold the edge. Absolute dogshit. This defense would have problems against Eastern Michigan University.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^

November 14th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
They were porous, no push up front. Very little heart shown.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
I struggle to understand how we can possibly be *this inept* in all facets.
Please reboot the simulation.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:25 AM ^
Hey just trust the process as we load up on high school kids from the East coast. They're the best in the state though. They are all good kids, well round young men....
November 15th, 2020 at 7:58 AM ^
The great Don Brown ?

November 14th, 2020 at 11:17 PM ^
I’m sorry, but I thought Don Brown was a good coach. Something has died in this team and the responsibility lies in the DC.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:27 AM ^
He was never a good coach.
November 15th, 2020 at 8:57 AM ^
He'd be way more successful with his scheme if he had lock-down CB's and a deep, relentless DL, capable of pressuring the QB.
Most DC's would be more successful with those too, of course.
November 15th, 2020 at 9:27 AM ^
I suspect he's one of those coaches that does okay provided he's coaching at his natural level.
Take Brady Hoke, for example. Did well in the MAC and Mountain West, but then floundered in the Big Ten. He's back in the Mountain West, and his SDSU team is 3-1 and just beat Hawaii. Brown is similar: he'd probably do okay if coached at a lower level of competition.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:21 PM ^
Ryan Day is going to have a historic beatdown on this defense unless covid, earthquake or the rapture occurs. There is no other way around it. 100 is a possibility.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:26 AM ^
What about the second half though?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:30 PM ^
Another week,... another terrible performance!. Stevie Wonder could see this one coming, Wisconsin was going to run it down our throats until we stopped them. We never could. Need a whole new coaching staff.
November 14th, 2020 at 11:39 PM ^
It’s been a few years, but looks like it’s time to award a few stuffed beavers ...
November 14th, 2020 at 11:42 PM ^
WRs rushed for over 100 yards. We acted like we never saw a Wisc WR running the ball before. ITS A FUCKING STAPLE OF THEIR OFFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 14th, 2020 at 11:44 PM ^
What defense?
November 14th, 2020 at 11:52 PM ^
I can't find the words to describe the defensive coaching and effort. Yes, they were given short fields by the offense a few times but good teams find a way to make stops and force punts or FGs. How many times did Wisconsin guys find the end zone nearly untouched? SMH, the defense is BAD. But I feel like I am picking on the D. Need to float over to the other snowflake threads to say how bad they were too. Complete and utter collapse.
This needs to stop. Manuel needs to pull the trigger.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:29 AM ^
Ohio will not score 100 points.... 63 will do.
November 15th, 2020 at 6:34 AM ^
Ohio should sit their starters to rest for the B1G championship game.
November 15th, 2020 at 12:34 AM ^
This defense gets pushed around like none other that I have ever seen at Michigan.The defensive tackles just get mauled and all the lightweight linebackers just get bowled over. You aren't going to beat anybody in the big ten when your front 7 are so weak,
November 15th, 2020 at 12:39 AM ^
Wisconsin was 7 for 7 tonight in the red zone... let that sink in.
November 15th, 2020 at 1:00 AM ^
Maybe we should bring back DC Greg Robinson and his “teddy bear” ? from the Rich Rod years?
November 15th, 2020 at 1:18 AM ^
There is something going on here. Yes, we have made some recruiting mistakes, but Don Brown is going from perennial top 10 defense to a dumpster fire. These players deserve better. Hard to know what it is, but there has to be a story here.
November 15th, 2020 at 2:02 AM ^
Maybe the story is that Brown's defenses piled up numbers against lesser teams. I haven't seen much in terms of Brown's defenses working against good teams in the Big Ten and elsewhere.
November 15th, 2020 at 1:58 AM ^
Brown needs to go. His "aggressive" defenses may work in the Big East or the ACC or wherever, but they don't work against the teams that U-M needs to beat in order to be competitive for a Big Ten championship, let alone the national championship playoffs. If your scheme needs All-Americans everywhere, which you will not get, then maybe you need to rethink what your defense can do. Brown won't do that. I was done with him after the second nuking of U-M by OSU, and it doesn't appear that he's made a single adjustment since then. Time for him to ship on back to Cape Cod.
