I do find it interesting that he "improved" when he was handed a decreased workload on the inside. He was a stout SLB, I honestly have no idea why the coaching staff hasn't put him back where he's played his best football.
It's basically a defacto SLB role now.
They started using him more where he wins (vs the run) and less where he doesn't (coverage).
That's something they should have noticed much sooner and done it then. I know injuries have always played a role with him staying in nickel to a degree.
