Grading the Performance: Defense

. . . If the kicker can boot it out of the endzone then he should do it EVERY time unless it's an onside kick.

Yes, they get to start at the 25 but there is 0 chance for a return past the 25 or worse. I understand trying to pin them deep, but that's just being greedy and it opens you up to unnecessary risk.

Just a mediocre defense against Mississippi. Like when Harsin gets called out for calling a crappy game, I think Manny has to take some of the blame. Too aggressive at times can work against you.

The conversions on 3rd and long for the opposing team in the last 2 games is a trend I'd like to see end immediately.
