It's because he misses a ton of tackles and makes bad reads. If we could play him at WIL I'd consider that, but he's way overpaid. Keep in mind he rarely played the middle in BC. Haven't been impressed.
Nichols had a ton of time there...started scrambling a full two seconds before any Alouette was free into the pocket. And when he scrambles he doesn't look downfield so the play is over.
Our run plays are real easy to read and Stubler is just throwing a run blitz at the play side tackle. Bryant or Hardrick aren't going to block 3 guys. No lead blocks, no ability to get off tackle = a loss every time.
