So it’ll be up to Minter to find ways to create problems for offenses in different ways. But when you lose two first-round picks on your defensive line, you feel it. Structurally, new defensive coordinator Jesse Minter should be able to keep the Wolverines’ general philosophical approach under Mike Macdonald. Refill on the edgeĪidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo are about to become millionaires and Michigan’s defense is about to look very different. Can he hold up physically in one-on-ones with linebackers in space? In this offense, you can’t fall off blocks in the second level. Oluwatimi appears to be a better zone blocker. Vastardis shined here a year ago, consistently peeling off doubles before stoning linebackers at the second level. My biggest concern for Michigan is what Oluwatimi will give the Wolverines in their gap-based run schemes. It’ll be up to the two new starters to hang at that level. Guards Zak Zinter and Trevor Keegan and left tackle Ryan Hayes all looked like future pros last year. Generally speaking, I still really like Michigan’s offensive line depth. Oluwatimi made 32 straight starts at Virginia. In college, especially in a system like Michigan’s, center is the most important spot on the offensive line. The fastest way for a play to blow up is for a center to screw up. Crippen’s future may be bright, but the center position is so much different in college than in high school, even at IMG Academy (where Crippen played).
