He sometimes would lose his presence on the field and run his own route... case in point... last year he ran into the TE on a sure touchdown play because he was where he wasn't supposed to be...

He would cut routes short and failed to run the precise routes that BP requires... he missed blocks and generally was "lost"... hence the description...
Very interesting. Tells me two things, one he did not study the play book well enough. Two, he figured his physical ability was enough to get him by.
