I think that most of us have been someplace before when I say most of us coaching wise have been some place before where we've had number one defenses so we've had the confidence in what we do and how we do it I just personally know the two guys that were here previously here in this system you know you know what I mean and it's a great challenge I know because they did a great job we plan on doing a great job too so you know the players the players are resilient you know they they'll adjust however we attack them and and I think the coaches are res so we'll just do it all together I have no problem with a kid coming up to me and saying I don't understand this or I don't feel good about this and we make adjustments said it best the other day we're going to have some bouts with adversity till we become adversity and I think that's the same thing on each side of the ball you know special teams and as a team I think it's it's the truth and you know once you understand that if we all stay together and we're all happy for each other's successes that's when you have special and get a roll because we are Michigan I think I heard mcari say this at the Big 10 we're never the hunted we're always the hunters and it's true I understand exactly what he's saying because there's a level of expectation of being at this great University and it shouldn't be a surprise that you know Chiron hired the staff that he hired and we have the players that we have we're just going to go attack doesn't matter what anybody else says we're going to get better we're going to try to get better each and every day you 1% better and you like where you're at so I think that's the biggest challenge is when you get into that fourth to sixth day of practice those days get long is just keeping everybody focused on what the challenge is and that's to get better every day and then we'll see where we're at and adjust from there got time for two more we'll go Riner then Aaron how how are some of the players adjusting to maybe you know some of the more band coverage principle especially in the secondary there's no truth to any of that that's all speculation and and to me understand this and I I'll say this wherever I'm at and I'll say it when I'm retired okay man team when you start out teaching the principle of man which we'll do on the first practice can play zone to win games Zone teams play Nothing But Zone can never play man to win the game teams that don't pressure when they have to pressure it doesn't usually look right because they don't practice them so if you just want fourman rush and coverage the entire game when it comes time where you need to win a situational play if if they think that if they know that you're just going to be a fourman rush coverage team you don't have a very high success rate now if they don't you know I'm not saying you can't play fourman rushing coverage in situations but I think just building it off of the you know the a man principle oneon-one cover principal which these kids have been playing ever since they they've played football you know with all the seven on sevens and everything else they're doing seventh grade on Sixth Grade on younger than that they all grow up playing cat coverage you know what cat coverage is I got that cat so I I think that uh you know it's there there's a lot more things that go into it than just playing man man man sure I mean you know players obviously even at the NFL level I mean asima for instance I mean who not the asima I mean you know yeah yeah when you switch you know obviously went to philadel there was there was a you know a decline in performance partially going to a scheme R versus well I I I mean you could say scheme you could say he got older you can say a bunch of different things he's got a different coach you know there's a bunch of different things that go into but you know my preference I want to Corner out there and cover my preference what we do with the safeties is our business I mean but you get a corner can play man like will can that's my preference I like the guys that get drafted High we'll we'll control The Narrative of it uh am I aggressive play caller yes I'm an aggressive play caller we won a lot of football games calling games aggressive okay when it doesn't work that's when everybody comes down and says always splits it too much don't hear that at all when you win you hear about how creative you are right so you just don't listen to any of that uh we'll we'll find that right mix you know of of of pressure simulat all the other stuff we'll find the right mix and that's what training Camp's for
