I can't remember Jackson making a play ever. Cotton is way overmatched. I assume Alfieri is hurt but if not stick him back at OLB. Barton was particularly awful tonight and The Squid has regressed since his freshman year. If this continues Falk will throw for 600 yards if The Pirate leaves him in.

Philips has heart but he's all alone out there.  Jackson, Cotton and Okereke just seemed way too small to have any impact.  Palma was the only ILB who was stout enough to stop the run, but his lack of speed in pass coverage dooms him every time. 

Way too much hype about our secondary -- they're good, but no secondary is good if the front 7 can't put any pressure on the passer.  However I only remember Darnold targeting Meeks' man once, so there must have been some respect there.
