is still useless. I saw him make one play- on that stretch play to the sideline- and I think he made the QB step up in the pocket once. But other than that, he was neutralized at the LOS every time.
He tries to juke blockers like a running back would juke a potential tackler because once the blocker gets his hands on him, Maybin doesn't have the strength to go through or around him. I knew he was a project but damn- I really didn't expect him to be completely ineffective, especially this late in the season.
Maybe he'll be better after a full off-season of conditioning and a full training camp. After all, it took Bruce 2 or 3 seasons to come into his own. But the early results are not promising.
And it doesn't help that I live in Skins country, so I constantly have to hear about how great Orakpo is doing.
