And while I do think he should be on the field in nickel situations, he's a liability when he's one on one. I'm hoping it's because he's banged up, but he's always been pretty soft in single coverage.
Man coverage is his strong suite, he loves press coverage, when he is not in press coverage it is because Blache does not want him to.
