They were just going to run out the clock. If he didn't break one, it wasn't going to matter what Hester did aside from him coughing it up. He's done it more than just that play dude. He's not turning up the field when he should on many kicks. Hester was always at his best when he took off straight up the field on kicks. He doesn't do that anymore. He always looks for the sidelines. I guess that's what happens when you've lost a couple of steps. The question is...why has he lost a couple of steps? it's not hester losing any amount of steps, it's the fact that ayenbadejo is gone. at his best, hester is getting the ball and going sideways until he gets a block and an avenue. BA was always the guy to make that first block, he was essentially the crease-maker. after that first block, hester had 1 or 2 moves to make on the dead sprint, which he excels at--because his legs are so short and his center of gravity is so low. they should have re-signed BA.
