ANN ARBOR, Mich. — One of the pleasant surprises last fall was how improved the secondary was from the previous year. Granted, there was nowhere to go but up, but new defensive pass game coordinator Steve Clinkscale got his unit ready.
Since, Clinkscale has added the co-defensive coordinator title to his resume. And while he has to replace both starting safeties from a year ago, as well as cornerback Vincent Gray, he’s pleased with the progress of the back end. With DJ Turner expected to star, same with safety Rod Moore, there are some veritable playmakers. But what has he seen from the rest of the defensive backfield?
He shared his thoughts on Thursday, now having had a full season, spring, and now being embroiled in another fall camp. Here is everything he had to say.
