I am a sport psychologist and I am currently working with a college baseball team on similar issues.  

There is a psychometric instrument called TAIS;  The Attentional  Interpersonal Style Inventory.  Basically athletes vary are their ability to shift from a broad scanning of the field of play to specific details.  This would apply to most sporting events.  Some athletes struggle with shifting his or her attention from a broad scan to a narrow detailed perspective.  An analogy would be taking a photo snapshot of the Grand Canyon (broad view) and then noticing specific flowers in the photo (narrow view).  You heard the saying: "You can't see the forest for the trees?"  It means sometimes athletes (or people in general) can't see the broad picture because they are focusing on a specific problem or detail.  

Price maybe going through this difficulty for a variety of reasons, Geno Atkins being one (Someone said this in another thread :), game book, taking responsibility to call out assignments, speed of game, not used to QB under center.  

Price is apparently distracted internally and externally.  Once the game slows down, it will help.  Once Price learns assignments, it will help.  Once he feels comfortable with QB under center, this will help.  

Another thing, Price is an aggressive player with a high motor.  This means his somatic arousal is taut.  High somatic arousal (tension) in additional to overthinking is not a good combination at the NFL level because the game speed is significant compared to college level play.

Some athletes adjust and learn to shift their attention because they are able to "chunk" bits of information and it takes up less head space. Nevertheless, some athletes cannot adjust and cannot shift his or her attention appropriately.    

The worse case scenario for Price: he gets moved to RG.      

I think he saw Dalton in the showers and now he's just skurred having him stand right behind him when he's bent over.
