That's what I was thinking, actually. It reminded me of before the Falcons game last year.
IMO, the problem with AH is he cares more about his personal stat line than that of winning. If he can inflict pain and get sacks in a 50-0 blowout loss, I think he's fine with that. But a win when he is basically a non-factor and he's pissed off. A lot of the times when he was getting manhandled was because he was trying to go lateral instead of standing up and taking on blockers (like a NT is supposed to). At end, he might be able to contribute this year, but unless he completely changes his mindset (highly unlikely) he will only be a pass rusher from the middle of the DL much like Holliday is.
