re: I expect the defense to get better throughout the season, however..

Part of the problem is JD struggles to hit a receiver in stride, minimizing their ability to gain yardage after the catch. The only guy he hit in stride was on the wheel route on the first play. Most everything else was a curl or some type of comeback or stop route. Our guys were getting some yardage afterwards but usually not more than 5-10 yards, with the exception of BTJ at the end of the game against Fl St's bench players.
