I know, there's still time, but simple concepts like sealing the edge, containment and tackling (not going for the strip) make it seem like he just doesn't know what he's doing.
It's one thing if he's asked to a 3rd down rushbacker and quite another to be a complete player. I just need to see some progress and regardless of whether or not he improves, the Chiefs definitely need to take an OLBer in the first 2 rounds next year.
