I can show you multiple times where he has been beaten by defenders that he wouldn't have lost the rep in previous years. I believe he has a right ankle injury and that's an awful ankle to have hurt as a right tackle. When he is dropping that right foot back he is already making himself vulnerable to a bull rush, so if he isn't as strong because of that right ankle he's going to get beat pretty regularly. It also effects his speed to drop that right foot back and get in front of his defender to engage him. He's been too damn slow to make good contact with a defender and the defender blows by him.

This. I think he refused to change the reckless style. [Reply]
