Why is he juking the sled before he attacks it? For real...there is a stutter step in his approach. A running back's type stutter step at that.
:huh:

I had to go back and rewatch it. You are dead on. He is ***** footing around with a sled. Its no damn wonder he can't generate any power. Every other LB hits it directly without wasted movement and slowing their momentum.

He's cooked. He just doesn't have the leg explosion he used to have pre injury and add in just a general lack of awareness/spaz factor on the field, he's likely playing his last year in Dallas.

The sad thing is, we wasted a top of the 2nd rd pick on this dude. So much more talent out there to be had. When you suck the way we did in 2015, there was no sense to waste that pick. And we then doubled down and extended him after one fluke year. Did not even make him earn it on his last year of his rookie deal.

He can't be gone fast enough. His act is old.

He's a spaz in the sense he's constantly moving. His feet are bouncing, he's constantly juking. Watch him run around like a spaz during and after plays. It's like he snorts pure cane sugar on the sideline. He's out of control

He's just weird.

No...it's technique. Poor coaching. His leg is fine

Ha, as another poster pointed out perhaps the stutter step isn't doing him any favors. I'd add instinct to the list as well. I was waiting for a coach to comment.

I wouldn’t say he’s a wuss. That’s a bit harsh.
If you were around the high school coaches I played under, being called a "wuss" was kind. I grew up during a time when there was no such thing as participation trophies or worrying about hurt feelings. Football was for the toughest and the meanest. If you couldn't mentally and physically handle that, you were forced to either play tennis or quit Athletics and go play band instead. Old school era of Hard Knocks and no time for baby sitting. Not like today.

...are you guys saying he stole Jerry's money? ...:eek::p
No, it was a gift. Jerry is filing amended returns as we speak. IRS clearly can't prove it's earned. They literally don't have a leg to stand on. How ironic.
