I was under the impression that you meant that we had started to expect LL to be a top tier strong safety in the same way we saw ST become a top tier free safety in the first half of the 07 season. Not, do we expect LL to become the next ST.
If the first instance is the case, then yes, it's fair to say that at this point in his career I expected LL to start fulfilling all his potential talent. He had a great first half of the season last year which I expected to carry over to this year once he got healthy again. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case. LL has all the talent, but it doesn't seem like he has the right mentality in how to approach the game.
He needs to hit that film room and start analyzing everything, from the way he plays the game, to the miscues he has, to the way Troy P. plays the game. Shit, consult Troy P. up if need be. Get inside his mind, and pick his brain. For whatever reason I feel like we have just seen LL expect his physical talent to translate to success on the field, and he's not working that hard on the mental aspect of it.
