he was thinking too much after playing so many different roles and being force fed too much responsibility, he has finally been allowed to settle into a position without too high of a snap count and a consistent role. that over thinking and that stress of not having the confidence of "been there, done that" affected his ability to focus, and thus affected his physical performance, such as bad form in tackling, bad angles, and trying to make up for his bad plays by trying too hard to make splash plays. he just needed to settle down, learn one position, and take it slow from there, and we are starting to see it, he played an excellent game saturday night, and i love his splash play potential, he seems to have a knack for punching the ball out, we just can never seem to recover them when he strips it. if we can beat NE and elam has another good game, then he is gonna be finally stacking good performances, that confidence, and familiarity with his new role, is going to help him improve his game by leaps and bounds. you all wrote him off too early, i was close to writing him off as well and i was one of his most avid supporters, but i still held out hope, and he is starting to show why we needed to keep hoping for him.
