Bob Dole is exactly correct.
IMO, that fact had more to do with Dante's numbers falling in DV's last year and Herm's first year, than it did with him "losing a step." The blocking wasn't there, he started pressing, he was playing WR which took a toll, and the rest is history - and unfortunately so is Dante. I hope it was merely a coaching oversight and not the fact that he was a HUGE - DV - GUY that lead to his being traded.
