This is a big hit to Michigan’s defense. He was Michigan’s best nose tackle since Mike Martin in 2011. He didn’t create as many plays as Martin, but he clogged up everything inside. Now Michigan is down its top two nose tackles (Glasgow, Bryan Mone).
It’ll be interesting to see how the defensive staff adjusts. Seems like we’ll have to put more guys in the box, and I’d also be in favor of seeing Henry spend the vast majority of his time at NT.
Yeah, the only viable option to be in the rotation at NT is Henry, IMO. I don’t think Pallante and Strobel are ready right now. I think Strobel would be better off playing that SDE position that Henry is playing, anyway.
