And he was quite lousy both seasons, no?
I think playing in the slot as much as he has the last few years is part of his problem.
He just doesn't have the necessary skill-set for it, IMO. If he were bigger and could body guys off, great. If he were quicker and could beat them into space, also great.
But he's a tweener in that regard. He needs to be out wide where he can utilize leverage and be schemed open a bit better. That's just easier to do out there where you don't have the morass in the middle.
Which kind of gets me back to where I started with him - I'm just not sure he's very good. I struggle to find things he truly does well.
