A. Reggie himself, not reading defenses properly, trying to run up the middle instead of getting to the outside, or vice-versa;

He does have lousy vision, but I’ve never seen him choose up the middle over trying to bust it outside

B. Reggie still thinking, after 4 years in the league, that he can out-run an NFL LB/DB;

Perhaps part of the problem, he’s not nearly as fast as he thinks he is.

C. Reggie not taking a sure 3-4 gain, but trying to do too much and losing yards;

Again, lack of vision. The 3-4 yard loss by retreating is obvious to most RB’s with good vision. I think he’s scared of contact and it forces him backwards to avoid it.

D.Reggie is not being used properly by Payton.

Payton has tried every way possible. Lets face it, Reggie just isn’t that good. If he played for any other coach he’d be virtually insignificant.
Oh wait, he already is.
