Why is Lattimore Slipping?

Lattimore did step up. Awesome but it was.

He balled out. If we hate on him when he sucks we got to show love when he balls.

I dont think its zone that was causing the issues.
Weve been playing a lot of man but "Off-Coverage."

Lattimore excels at bump and run style, he knocks you off the route and then stays close to the hip.

He struggles playing off coverage and reading / guessing where the player is going in space.

That looked like 2017 Lattimore.

Well if Lattimore returns to form, which i think he will. They are gonna pick on Apple a lot more.

He should be fine as long as they can keep two safeties back. We were able to stop the run without bringing down a safety to help. That’s a big deal. We did it against Zeke and that Cowboys offensive line so we can do that to anybody.

I don't think its as much picking on Apple as it is staying the hell away from Lattimore.

But either way you look at it, Apple is gonna see a lot more thrown his way.
