Ambry Thomas Appreciation Post
Just happened to be looking at team and individual stats for this season...
And man, what a season Ambry Thomas is having. We all know what he went thru this offseason, and for him to come back better than ever, without even missing a game, has been very impressive.
He's already got 2 TFL, 2 INT and 2 FR.
He's had his hand in 4 takeaways already, just 5 games into the season. Ambry "Ball Hawk" Thomas, ladies and gentlemen.

And thanks also to the medical staff that got Ambry back to good health.

Also of note:
Aidan Hutchinson already has 3 FF
Kwity Paye 4.5 sacks
Jordan Glasgow 4 sacks
Lavert Hill 2 INT
Let-down @Wisc aside, the defense has some real playmakers and it's showing up on film and in the box score ?〽️

It's funny going into this season I thought the offense was going to have to carry the team while our young defense grew up. Instead, it's been the opposite
October 6th, 2019 at 9:04 PM ^
I thought the same thing ?♂️

I'd like to see Ambry 2-3 plays per game on offense for some explosiveness.
October 6th, 2019 at 4:51 PM ^
I think that was more neccessary last year than it is this year. I believe M has the explosive WRs but the QB isn't getting them the ball and/or OC isn't calling explosive type plays.

With Bell, Jackson, and Sainristil on offense, I don’t see the need. It would be fun I guess but there are plenty of speedy scat back types already getting touches in practice.

Ambry is stepping up big and carrying on a nice tradition of stellar cb play at Michigan
October 6th, 2019 at 4:50 PM ^
Absolutely. I think Lavert Hill is starting to play better as well.
October 6th, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
Even beyond the stats, Ambry is passing the eye test. Making plays in coverage and run support.
I was happy to see Glasgow have a good game after a rough outing last week.
Dwumfour had a great game
We should have more happiness about the defense than all complaining about the offense that's going on. We just beat a good team and our defense brought it, giving up 1.5 points in our current win streak.
Offensive struggles is all about our QB's ability to read. Give it a chance and be happy we just had our best win of the year
October 6th, 2019 at 5:01 PM ^
Absolutely. Couldn't agree with this comment any more.
October 6th, 2019 at 5:04 PM ^
A real bright spot
October 6th, 2019 at 5:30 PM ^
If he goes pro, we are screwed next year at the corner spots...

Vincent Gray doesnt look terrible

Ambry's been a remarkable performer this season. Quite a testament to his determination overcome a serious illness. Love seeing him playing so well on the field after what he has been through.

Played like a TRUELY Free Man along w/ the rest of the D.
This Defense is a different w/ Cam and getting Mike Dwumfour back on the DL. Watching live both seemed very disruptive yesterday.
October 6th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
Agreed. Getting Dax Hill in there is making a difference as well.
October 6th, 2019 at 9:06 PM ^
Love Cam McGrone and Dax Hill. Both should be on the field more often than not.
The D is exponentially faster with those guys out there.

Great work all year 1.
