Some of it is clearly the injury...at least that is what I am hoping. A part of it is conditioning, and still another part of it is knowing his assignments. It strikes me as so odd that he rarely gets opportunities in pass rushing downs. I know he was billed (tee hee) as the space eater that can't be moved, but I saw him as a guy that could move any one person back in the QBs lap. I figured with his strength pushing the pocket back would help the entire defensive line.
A small part of me fears that he lacks drive. I sure hope that isn't it, because I absolutely loved watching him play at Baylor.

With you guys, was a little perplexed last year, saw some flashes of that guy at Baylor but overall he was very inconsistent.
Hopefully he starts putting it together this year since he can really lift and get back that super strength.
Billings always just jumped off the screen at me. Geno/Wilfork hybrid but stronger than both.
Better run stopper than Geno, better pass rusher than Wilfork.
