Someone said he had 5 pressures but I doubt it. I legitimately don't remember him making a single notable play yesterday.

I remember one time he got pressure but most of the time I remember him just getting stood straight up. It seems like his handfighting has really fallen off and I think that has something to do with his inability to use that first step to get inside the tackle's arms.
Like I said, as often as not they're just waiting for him so they can get that punch in first and really dictate the play. It may be time to find a way to put his hand in the dirt so he can try to close the gap a bit. I'm not sure if he has the lower body strength to be effective in that role now that his knees are abandoning him, but that may be the way to keep him valuable.
Or you just hope that he's saving it and/or still building leg strength and stability back up. He just doesn't seem terribly useful right now.
