A lot of the times he gave up fast pressures was trying to cheat to protect his outside shoulder knowing he'd need to do that to keep from getting beat up the arc. Then he'd get his balance off trying to move to fast and get beat across his face.
With the Bengals doing fewer vertical sets, he has less cause to cheat and can play to his strengths more.
Just another way he was an awkward fit here. It made even the things he did well become a problem from time to time.
