Mailbag: Updating The Free-Lawrence Battle? Jenkins' Progress?

BRANDON WILCOX
EVERLY, IA
Ihave read a few articles lately that describe a defender getting by Doug Free. Has he struggled so far since his return, or is this a sign of the defense improving?

Nick: I think it’s a fair question. Probably a little bit of both, but Free did miss most of the summer with this foot injury. He’s a little rusty but for the most part, he’s coming along. This is a veteran player who knows how to get his body ready for the season.
