Michigans Defense

[Jnort3]

IDK if this can go here but if not I do apologize I am just wondering what other people are doing to make the Mich defense realistic. I have no clue yet how to make it work since everyone seems to be doing something different so I'm just wonderin what your thoughts are on best way to run it. If you change players POS plz include that THANKS!

As of Friday based on the most recent info:

Run a 3-3-5 with the QE/LB playing one OLB, and the S/LB as the SS
Or Run or a 3-4 with the two hybrid (QE/LB, & S/LB) positions playing the two OLB spots, and Mouton/Fitz playing the 2 MLB spot.

DE-Graham, Patterson
DT-Martin, Sageese/Campbell
DE-Van Bergen, Banks
QE/LB - Herron, Evans, Watson
MLB - Ezeh, Demens
OLB - Mouton, Fitzgerlad (? due to Mouton inj.)
S/LB - Brown, Hawthorne
SS - Woolfork, Van Slyke
FS - Emilien, Williams (position battle, still up in the air)
CB - Warren, Cissoko, Turner, Floyd

yea that looks right, I would switch the FS and SS around.
Have Woolfolk at FS and Emilien and Williams position battle at SS
but it donest matter that much

I am planning to run the 3-3-5 which plays two SS up closer. That way you don't have to go change as many positions. Therefore my depth chart would look slightly different. This is my two deep:

DE-Graham, Patterson
DT-Martin, Campbell
DE-Van Bergen, Banks
OLB - Herron, Evans
MLB - Ezeh, Demens
OLB - Mouton, Fitzgerlad
SS - Brown, B Smith (not sure why this guy is missing right now), Hawthorne, Bell/Gordon
FS - Woolfork, Emilien/Williams
CB - Warren, Cissoko, Turner, Floyd

As far as I know, B. Smith is a 3rd string LB behind the Mouton/Fitz, not @ the SS spot.
