"Michigan Football might have best corner duo in the country"
https://www.google.com/amp/s/gbmwolverine.com/2018/06/08/michigan-football-might-best-corner-duo-country/amp/

"The 5-foot-11, 187-pound Long had a 17.6 passer rating when targeted, the lowest in the country, according to PFF. Of the 22 targets he defended against in Big Ten play, only nine ended up as catches. Two resulted in interceptions, while four were broken up."

"Hill, of Detroit, had 25 tackles (5 for a loss), two interceptions and seven pass breakups. Long, from Los Angeles, had 21 tackles (1 1/2 for a loss), two interceptions and six pass breakups."

"Michigan's Lavert Hill, David Long rise to top CB duo status nationally"

Get ready nfl. Next year they are gone for sure.
"Man up"

Lavert Hill's counting stats (2 INT, 7 PD) don't pop off the stat sheet but he's got game.

Comfortable in the slot & outside. Is asked to play both press and zone. Has some real ball-hawking tendencies. Not afraid to read the QB's eyes & leave his man to make a play on the ball. pic.twitter.com/rObgY80t11

Michigan junior CB Lavert Hill (5'11 180lbs) is the best CB in Big 10 - and I'm not sure it's even close.. @UMichFootball

Experienced as press CB & NB. Competitive. Ball skills. Click/close reaction. Long speed. Zone awareness/instincts. Tough in run support/CAT blitzer/tackler

Never panics with ball in the air.. Not a ball hawk/'my ball' CB - but is feisty and fights for his real estate pic.twitter.com/Q3Yjfdulhn

Big Ten quarterbacks are better off not throwing at Lavert Hill and @dljxxii! #GoBlue @PFF_College pic.twitter.com/SXHBE91rVr

Lavert Hill is a solid/experienced press CB... But I also note many plays where he has good zone instincts/awareness (bottom of screen) pic.twitter.com/mEQIlLlB7m

Man-zone whatever you want... Why settle for less than the best?!?! 🏝

"Reads Qb's 👀, And not afraid to leave his man for the ball." All natural, not bad for his first year eh?

"Qb's would have a higher passer rating spiking the ball into the grounnd than targeting Long and Hill in coverage"

Don't do that! We need int's!!! In the most competitive conference.. 5 Big Ten teams ranked in the top 15.. Context.

Ridiculous..

Lavert Hill & David Long each allowed just 4 first downs in coverage last season - tying for the fewest among returning B1G CBs pic.twitter.com/3qOE5STQKW

I forgot another category.. Michigan has two 🏝 🏖

Hopefully my niners take notice per pff, you want the best defense or what 👀. Next year's draft is going to be off the meter with defensive players.

1) Coverage skills✅
2) Man ✅
3) Zone ✅
4) Tackling ✅
5) Ball Hawk tendencies ✅
6) Competition ✅
7) Reads Qb's eyes ✅
8) Attacks the ball ✅

Started watching DBs and looking for some mid round guys like Hill. He should be around in the 3rd or 4th but if he doesn't get hands on at the line

bad things await.

There's nothing like Don Browns defense. We don't have the #1 pass defense for no reason..

Michigan secondary plays man to man. That's alot to ask for.. Dig deeper..

Michigan plays man 95% of times. They will get burned sooner or later. That's the nature of man to man and not many defenses can ask players to do that or have the stars on the team to accomplish that..

You have to understand how hard it is to play man to man 24/7....

#1 Pass Defense in the Country.. #1 Overall defense against tough competition not Kent state or LA Laffayette..

This while having the toughest schedule in college football..

Lavert Hill joins a very short list of Wolverines with multiple interception return TDs in their Michigan careers.

Now tied for the career record with 2 along with Lance Dottin (1987-91) and Thom Darden (1969-71)

It ain't easy playing man to man and excelling in it. Our secondary is second to nobody when on the field. Every player who plays man to man will get burned from time to time but when you are good.. Not any corner can play in Don Browns defense..

Dude is a playmaker.

Oh sorry I said something negative about a Wolverine. He's CB1 for sure.

Dude you are over reacting.. Stop it.. It's context..

It's the truth.. I say s**t not so you can believe me but so you can research yourself...

Research Don Browns defense... It's demanding of it's players.. I'm sorry you didn't like the answer???

Get a grip..

"Be critical of the old guy" They play man to man 95% of plays. It's going to happen. I'm trying to help ya understand this defense. Michigan doesn't play zone..
