Betts' upper body is so flat that when he gets hit the ball has nowhere to hide and inevitably pops out. I think if Ladell could add 20 pounds to his frame he could become a force.
I bring up the Tiki comparison since Collinsworth was saying similar things about him during our final game. He mentioned how Tiki fixed his fumble problems by adding bulk to his frame which helped immensely in securing the ball. Seems to be exactly what Betts needs.
Time to hit the weights LB! |
Actually he stopped fumbling when Coughlin arrived and made him secure the ball up into his shoulder.
