He's probably a better player now than ever before. I mean, I have no reason to think that he's "regressing" in the traditional sense.

Rather, what could be happening is that his flaws in the first two seasons he played were hidden by an overachieving front 7. As soon as that group broke down, ST's numerous flaws (which had exisited all along) became far more noticible. As he gains experience, he can work to correct these flaws, but for the time being, they are still a part of who he is. I doubt our front seven is going to give him too much more help this year. The Fletcher addition should help.

Conventional Solution: Fix the front 7
Redskins' Solution: Draft a guy at his position
