The 3rd down defense, particularly 3rd and long, has been the worst I’ve ever seen at Michigan. This team is so poorly coached at every level. Every weakness they had is the same as week 1 and worse because other teams continue to exploit it and no adjustments are made. We can’t throw and can’t defend 3rd and long. It’s getting worse.
Off the top of my head. In no order:
Goff, darnold, love, mayfield, cousins, carr, stafford, purdy, Mayfield, Prescott, hurts, Daniels, Lamar, burrow, stroud, Mahomes, Herbert, Rodgers, Allen, tua. That’s 20 better QBs.
And that’s the bigger concern. Dan Campbell doesnt hold his staff accountable. Overall these are very likable coaches. All of them. But it does have a little good old boys feel to it. Geno has done the same thing for 3 years, shredded mad and passed the heck out of the ball, and never has Glenn adjusted and Dan hasn’t made him. Why not? The strategy needs to come from the head coach. I can’t believe they let a bottom half QB shred them again.
I come away more concerned with the coaches than not. So many head scratching decisions and overall bad strategy. End of the first half. All of the defense. Sticking with man. Play action to take a safety. Like come the heck on. This has got to be cleaned up.
The nightmare is finally over. Now kneel the ****ing ball. Someone is gonna have to tell the coaching staff how this works. They clearly have no idea. They might try and throw bombs.
The end of half coaching is true large scale problem for this team. The botched FG, the first half today. Now this. You truly have a coaching staffing, who have been together for years, who have no clue what they are doing to end half’s or games.
