“It’s the hand that we’ve been dealt,” Defensive Coordinator Mike Macdonald said. “We’ve got to take it head on and we’re rolling. If you have a different approach, all you’re doing is wasting time.
“It’s an opportunity to give a shoutout to Marlon and things that he’s done for our defense and our team. You’re talking about a guy that’s been here in the offseason, has taken on a leadership role, he’s out there every day, practices extremely hard, he practices the right way. We’ll miss him absolutely, but we do have good players in our back end.
