Hopefully this is a case of the guys just playing too excited, and they'll settle into their responsibilities with time. The run D was good last year and there's no reason that they shouldn't be this year.

I thought the same thing, and am worried this is where Berry is going to be rusty at. Not necessarily with his stamina or instincts, but just the little nuances of an NFL game that take those preseason reps to get the hang of again.
