Even with the personnel losses on defense (Woodley, Hall, Harris, etc.) I don't think our defense will be down too badly. This year's run-stopping monster was basically the same personnel as last year's very mediocre version. Being a year older wasn't the difference - Ron English was. As long as Coach English is around the defense is in good hands.

Who is your mike? Will the safety play improve under English? Quote:
Szabo did a great job with those two (and Harris). IMO the 06 LBs had more potential/talent than the 07 replacements (especially if Crable departs to support his family). |

Basically, a lot of personnel turnover, but coaching ranks so far are holding steady (though most of the new hires elsewhere haven't filled out their staffs yet). There'll be a drop-off, but I don't expect defense to be a weak point. Certainly won't be anything like the 2005 team. Somewhere in between. |

You feel good about Sears as a #1 corner? Most UM fans are worried about him as a #2 CB or nickelback, let alone covering the opposition's #1 WR.
Jerimy Finch is going to play corner? Graham seemed to struggle at lot this season. He'll have to have a big offseason to be steady, which will still be a big dropoff from Graham. Who will play SAM (SLB)? |

Besides Graham, I honestly haven't a clue who's going to be at linebacker next season. 737 - If I had to put money on it, I'd say Branch will return. It makes sense from most perspectives. He'd do well in the draft, but he'd be overshadowed by Woodley, just as he has all season. Long and co. are probably beating the c'mon-man-we-gotta-beat-OSU drum, and besides all that he'd be an absolute lock to at least be on the preseason watch list for the Nagurski and sundry other trophies and awards. With all the turnover, it'd be "his" defense, just as Woodley was the leader this year. I think we'll see Branch come back for his senior year. |

DB, especially corner, is a huge concern for michigan next year. Trent and Sears aren't going to give anybody anything to worry about. A team with 4-5 capable receivers and a QB that is patient enough to find the open man will exploit that all day long.

They'll be OK. Their next year will be similar to our this year.. great O & D is questionable.... However, they'll lose to us again. Our D will remember what Mike Hart said.

NFL personnel looking for a DT/NG will watch film of every snap that Branch has played all season, without worrying about what Woodley did. They have planty of time and money to fully evaluate Branch on an individual basis.

Future Up North
I would sympathize with the school up North, but they're starting to feel what we did for so many years and I remember their arrogance.
That said, there are some reasons to talk about their future. Les Miles is doing a tremendous job at LSU and will be reloading with even more talent. Many know his roots to scUM. Is it obvious that he will go there next? It seems like Carr's future is getting darker and darker. |

It's odd, people seem to forget how long Bo was there and what his bowl record was. Carr managed to get scUM a NC, something Bo never did. Sure, as of recent he's had some issues but there's some things to take into consideration. He's 5-1 in the last 6 years, but if the Bucks beat Florida that leaves him defeated by two National Championship teams, not two 3-4 loss Buckeye teams.
Also, another thing to consider is the fact that he's not actually doing THAT bad, it's not like he's got 4-5 losses, or anything of that nature, people are just comparing him to the successes of rival teams. If scUM wins in a bowl next year and/or beats the bucks all the heat from the fan-base will fade. |
