It almost seems that he and Bush trust each other more

I might be in the minority here but Kenny V has regressed in his play.

Although he was slightly better against the Bucs, his overall tackling over the last few weeks has been poor and unacceptable at the safety position.

What's up with Evans? How can you go from being one of the best guards in the league to being bad in 2 years. And he's not old so that isn't it.

Did he get paid? That unfortunately seems to be a predictive metric.

I know he was fighting a back injury last year...that doesn't go away too easily.

And he got a 7 yr/$56.7 mil with $19 mil in the first year. Signed it before the 2010 season.

My guess is the back issue. It ages you quickly...trust me.

Naw, man, you ain't the minority. A few of us have thought the same thing. Sophomore Slump, nagging injury, personal issues...who knows?

Hell if I wasn't wrong. Dead wrong. How do you get that far behind, THEN pull your hand back from the ball in flight?

I'll tell you how. Go outside. Run backwards, turn, run, turn again, spin your head around and then jump backwards while reaching in the air. How'd you do?

Totally disagree. Previously I though KV played "average" vs Tampa but that was with his penalties. He was finally flying all over the field like last year.

Ryan put him in a single role vs TB instead of 3 or 4 responsibilities. Maybe you noticed him playing more SS??

It helped and he's admittedly moving faster since breaking his ankle.

He said the 1st 4 weeks his ankle was a little sore. He said now he is finally 100%. That might have a little to do with what was going on.

Colston and Galette are my two biggest surprises.
