i think its his pass protection that got him benched, which is more important than his run blocking skill. there are other ways to make holes if someone isn't as strong at run blocking on the line, but if you have a guy getting man handled in pass protection you have to constantly commit guys to help him opening up yourself to blitzes, and now with the moving pockets and things he's not adjusted well.

not actually making a case against him as i like him very much and hope he improves, just doesn't seem likely at this stage in his career.
