Agreed. Took the words out of my mouth. Hester kept getting a couple of yards after contact with Anderson Russell. Malcom Jenkins had a pretty bad 2nd quarter where he got burned time and again against Doucett.
The expectations of this year's D arise from the assumption that they will keep getting better. We need a lot of improvement from the DB's and the DT's. Otherwise, the defense is going to be in for a long time against O'Dowd and the USC OL.
