No it wasn't.
That's the thing I noticed about him almost immediately in 2023 though (and, again, got railed on for saying it).
And it certainly got no better in 2024.
It's an issue that has to be addressed if he wants to get back to that premier form. He's making life much harder on himself these days than he used to. Sure - fine, blame the OT situation. It's as good a reason as any. But the critical thing is that we at least acknowledge that it's been a thing.
If he's going to get back to where he was, his playstyle needs to get back to where it was as well. And the shift from OBJr to Smith shouldn't have yielded that kind of massive step back.

You become a more serious, stable rush offense. Not all that dissimilar to what Buffalo did under Joe Brady.
Hoping this is signaling an evolution in the OL. [Reply]
