But I think there's a tendency here to think that's all there is to Rice, and I don't think that's the case. I think he leaned on it a bit in college, because he could.
There are some sloppy releases on the tape (errr video) and some of that may be the toe issue, and some of it may just be inconsistent footwork but there are also examples of really nice, clean snaps. So, to me, cleaning up his feet at the snap is really the main area of work needed. I don't think that's insurmountable.

No I think we agree. I guess my take is at worst it's possible the body control and vertical are
less impactful because good, long, physical corners will be better at taking those away.
The issue of him leaning on those skills was raised in that PFF vid staylor shared (I think it was staylor). Their take was it's possible, but definitely not probable, he just never learns that he can't/shouldn't lean on these. Seems an overly pessimistic take to me, but as I say I think it takes time. Hopefully there's patience from all parties.
