Because when he drops back to pass, the defense knows he's not going to take off, so they don't have to worry about it. They can overplay the coverage. It's frustrating.
I'm so glad the sale went the way it did. Imagine...
"Good morning folks, Solomon Wilcotts and Spero Dedes here at Trump Stadium in Orchard Park, NY..."
*shudders*
Yup. I think it's reasonable to believe the coaching staff sees the value in developing EJ. They've basically hit the reset button on him, and are handling him as a rookie.
And it makes sense if the reports that he "woke up in sudden pain" are true. You notice a hernia immediately. I had a friend wake up in the middle of the night with testicular torsion. Drove himself to the hospital, and had his applebag cut open to untwist them.
