There is something there and he doesn't take it. Other times he is looking for a hole too soon when he should press the line and then look for an opening. There were a few times vs. Miami if he would have pressed the line and then let the D suck in he would have been able to bounce it out for a good chunk play. Instead he danced in the backfield looking back inside when nothing had yet developed because it was just too soon. So vision and patience while getting downhill and pressing that line.

I definitely believe this is part of it on some plays. There's a hole but Joe seems to be thinking "that's only 4 yards" let me see what's to the right or left?

I dunno? perhaps he is just washed up?
