We are back, folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online to pick 1050.com, Sam Webb.

Mr. I rewind, tribe on the other side. Let's give the defense some love.

I said, hey, the defense I thought in the thud period on the back end, I thought they were really good.

I don't think there were as many open windows.

I want to give credit to the, yes, there were some errant throws in there.

Definitely want to acknowledge that, but I also think that the receivers weren't as open in that period either.

And so, and honestly, that's in that period, in the third period, the period where they

don't tackle, or it's just like to contact, I feel like you're, that's a recipe for the

observations being more, you know, they're more relevant when it comes to your skill

position guys. Like to me, in a third period, yeah, we saw Jordan Marshall, you know, get through

a few holes, you know, and get upfield and make some plays.

But I'm, I'm, my biggest takeaway from that way, like Jordan looks good.

He looks healthy.

He looks, you know, he looks in great shape.

I don't really take more from it than that.

Why?

Because it's, I mean, they aren't tackling.

And so what, what can you really tell about the O line and the D line in that period?

It's to me, it's more about the seven on seven guys in the thud period, even though it's, you know, it's a contact.

But once you got into the tackle periods, periods two through four,

now you can start doing your evals of the, you know, the defensive line.

And, of course, your linebacker, super really your defensive line and offensive line.
