Just look at what happened in the playoff game when Odell did not force any turnovers. I think the Steelers score on every drive in the second half.
Being out of position has zero to do with being timid. Both Jimmy Johnson and Marvin Lewis want guys to play with aggression but also to do their job. Johnson would never have said "I don't care if you ignore your assignment as long as you are running around like crazy."
Rookies make rookie mistakes.
Thurman is just one of those times when you shake your head an say "damn...what could have been".
