With Jabrill Peppers moving to linebacker, the safeties have a more fluid situation for Michigan football than cornerbacks do.
It is not yet known exactly what responsibilities Peppers will have at linebacker, nor is it known if he will see any action at safety under defensive coordinator Don Brown’s new scheme. Delano Hill and Dymonte Thomas will get most of the playing time, barring injury.
Much like last year, it is expected that Michigan will play a lot of man coverage with an aggressive blitz package. That has certainly been the M.O. of “Doctor Blitz” Don Brown in previous stops, including one of the nation’s top defenses at Boston College in 2015.
