I think you're remembering incorrectly, here's his stat line during his career in Washington:

1988: 133 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 INTs
1989: 108 tackles, 4 sacks, 1 INT
1990: 107 tackles, 5 sacks, 1 INT
1991: 135 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 5 INTs
1992: 138 tackles, 6 sacks, 2 INTs

And just going by what I remember, I don't recall him struggling at all. He was one of the best LBs we've had here.
