Yep, 2013 was the perfect "revenge" season for him. Highly motivated with an us against the world attitude.

When 2014 arrived that was gone and it became business as usual. He's lost the eye of the tiger. Its common in the NFL and usually a change of scenery is the only thing to get it back.

Some rumors are floating around that he has a drug and alcohol addiction, as well as horndog-itis. That may or may not be true, and if it is we don't know to what extent.

I think he's just burnt out, and we have a hodge podge of talent. We have about 80% of the ingredients for a great pot of gumbo, and 80% for a great pot of chili, and 80% for a killer jambalaya. We just don't 100% of the ingredients for any of them.

Pick a system and focus on acquiring players that fit it.

Just like Roman Harper was a near perfect fit for a Gregg Williams defense, he was a bad fit for a system that uses 2 deep zone safeties.
