His lack of urgency on the field and in the huddle led to a lot of unnecessary delay of game penalties, and it didn't allow time to make adjustments at the line. Part of what helped the o-line with Rex in there was the fact they got in and out of the huddle quicker, which allowed the line time to adjust.
A faster tempo gives the offense more time to adjust and the defense less time to do the things they need to do.
On top of being either unwilling or unable to adjust to the way Kyle does things, and struggling to learn the playbook, he didn't even have the best sense or urgency to operate the offense with the plays he did know.
I think that's the definition of "lazy" here, and while Mike likes Rex and Beck a little more. They've got a little more hustle on the field.

Agreed.
Lazy probably isn't the best word, I agree it had more to do with his lack of tempo and urgency, which could be perceived as laziness, but more than anything I think that's just DM's personality.
