Donte Jackson and Adams did not play good. I dont know what game you watched. Jackson was abused.

Adams plays so out of control. Saw him on 2 occasions come flying up and totally whiffing on tackles.

You might be right about Jackson on the whole. I remember 2 or 3 athletic plays that influenced my previous post-- one was a good pass break-up on the sideline. I might be giving him too much credit for those couple of plays. He might've been abused for much of the rest of the game and I didn't specifically notice it was him at fault. So, I can't say you're wrong.

I also see what you're saying about Adams being out of control. I think I remember at least one whiff as well... But I still also think he was in on a lot of tackles either solo or as part of a group, and was closing in on several other plays. So, I think you might be unfairly criticizing his body of work for a couple of whiffs in the same way I was overly complimentary of Jackson for a couple of plays. I don't think Adams played bad and could tell he was working his arse off... Regrettably, I think a ton of UWs offensive plays were getting to the second level and putting a real strain on the safeties.
