Since all his fumbles came from behind I have a theory that his mind simply hasn't adjusted to the fact that he's slower and doesn't pull away from defenders as fast as he used too. So now he gets loose with the football too early not realizing he doesn't have as much separation from the defender that he used to have. The good thing is, I think he can adjust, the bad thing is I don't think it's something you can adjust to during a season.

Of COURSE that's the problem. But it's a disease that spreads to more than just the fumbles. It makes him less capable of being the kind of guy we can rely on to just go get the 2-3 yards we need here and there.
Because that's not what he WANTS to do. Remember when Barry Sanders would dance around in the backfield, make 6 guys miss and then break one? Well slice both of Barry's Achilles with an exceptionally dull spoon, have Eric Berry's spirit guide be responsible for the rehab and then you'd have LeSean McCoy's efforts behind the line.
The guy just doesn't seem to have any interest in driving downhill and hitting a damn hole.
