Just kind of slow as far as catching on to technique and more importantly he needs to be more instinctive. They rely on his pure physical freakishness for the bull rush but that’s about all he’s got right now. Talent is great and all but only gets you so far when you are around so many other talented players. Intelligence and instinct separate the men from the boys. I had hoped to see more. |

Maybe now he’s trying to overcompensate now and thinks too much. Once he gets it and has the combination of both...look out. Just hope it happens. |
