He's not a bad player, per se, but that attitude and lack of availability is a discouraging combination.
What attitude? He doesn't like talking to the media, who cares. There has been zero indication he's a problem in the locker room and he plays hard. All the camp reports I've seen this week say he looks great. Jahmyr Gibbs sounds low energy to the media too. Zero impact on the field.
My issue is that he's a risk, on top of other risks that have already bombed out. Levi is done, Paschal is out until September. The problem with relying on injury prone players is that when you have injuries from reliable, non-injury prone guys (Hutch, Barnes, Alim, Anzalone etc last year) it makes everything look worse. Carlton Davis had a long injury history and ended up missing time at the worst possible moment (playoffs). Davenport had a long injury history and played two games. Those two losses on top of the other, less predictable injuries compounded the situation and blew up in our face.
