Great observation, particularly that Jesse is reluctant to do that- I think Dustin Martin dropped the ball at one point when he look up and saw Jesse coming full steam at him, and all I could think was "that's really sweet, Dustin, but despite his size he is the last guy that is going to clean you up out there". What I loved about the instance you mentioned was that with some of the magoos he is used to playing with getting some burn it was fantastic to see Jesse feel natural stepping in and going "I'm the big dog, this is my ground and that's my little buddy". It was something where even if the ball had been turned over from it you can imagine every member of the coaching staff would have been watching it with him, saying "That! Do that!"
