Welcome back to the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online at the big 1050.com.

We heard from Chip Clenzy in the first segment.

Let's hear what the linebacker coach Brian G. Marie has to say, as he also met with the media

yesterday here on the Michigan Insider of the Big 1050 WTKA.

With Jason being out in the first half, what is just to say the depth of your room to be able to, you know, work together and kind of overcome that?

I think Coach Morris said it, and I know Coach Wink has said it.

We feel like we have four starters in that room and, you know, two other guys that we feel very, very confident if we put them in the game that they could perform at a high level.

So we knew, obviously, we know what type of player, Jayhine, you know, is and what he brings to the table.

But we were very, very confident in Jimmy and Cole that they would be able to step in and play, you know, our level of

defense and play winning defense for us.

What were some of the issues you guys had in coverage on Saturday night?

Was it a mismatch thing or were guys out of position?

I would never say it's a mismatch.

I don't think we saw somebody catch a ball and run past us. I would say that's a mismatch. I don't think we saw somebody catch a ball and run past us.

I would say that was a mismatch. There was a couple times if you broke it down, we were in some,

we didn't execute the defense, I should say, but there was a lot of the times it was when the

quarterback scrambled. We got out of our zones and

lost our eyes so that's part of execution we have people initially covered and then when the

quarterback you know kind of breaks the pocket we have to be able to you know lock on to our receivers

on those broken plays which we knew is what made him special,

was those plays that kind of off script, which we talked about, you know, all through the preseason,

and we kind of let those happen a couple times.
