Yes, we remember the years when a bunch of question marks get answered, or even turned into exclamation points. It does seem like we have a lot of bodies everywhere but LB, and I'd rather be solid and deep at DE, DT and DB. The difference makers thing is my question too....

The guy/s who makes everyone else better because you absolutely have to game plan around him.

I like our chances with Daley, and if ends up a first team all conference guy, it'll automatically make the rest of the DL better. And we have some good, promising players there, just no one who's more likely to answer the superstar call at least in 2026.

Back to the board

Was looking at Sayfie's projected depth chart on on3 today (defense). The defense honestly looks pretty stacked. Deep and a nice blend of youth and experience.... - By Rich August 20, 2026 at 11:28:47 PM
- I just hope we're competitive in the games we're expected to lose and handle business in the rest. Pre-programming losses and finding stuff to do on Saturday afternoons is still fresh in my memory* - By wolvalum August 20, 2026 at 11:47:23 PM

- Agreed. Offense hopes built on huge improvements from BU and sophomore WRs but not same dynamic on defense. I’m a believer in both* - By harbaughdyssey August 20, 2026 at 11:31:15 PM
- Depth is fine, but who are the difference makers? Where is a Hutch, Will, Graham, Moore etc? On paper we have some candidates, but show it* - By Daytripper August 20, 2026 at 11:30:14 PM
  - I would say Rod Moore, Jyaire Hill, and John Henry Daley could all be major studs. The Mgo guys rave about Bracey as well. - By Bluebuck August 20, 2026 at 11:43:39 PM
    - Agree, and that means we can bring safeties into the box if we're having problems stopping the run* - By jon August 21, 2026 at 07:41:31 AM
    - Rod Moore is a Michigan Legend - By Daytripper August 20, 2026 at 11:45:21 PM
  - Right, that was one of my points. Also although I listed those guys, not all were on all teams... - By Rich August 20, 2026 at 11:37:37 PM
  - Isn’t jyaire hill basically best player on the team?* - By harbaughdyssey August 20, 2026 at 11:33:22 PM
