1. Some guys peak athletically in HS.
2. Some peak in NCAA.
3. Some peak after a couple/few yrs in the league.
4. Then there are those who are gifted enough to play at a consistent high level and can have a decade long pro career.
Not that I think Sorensen was ever a gifted athlete, certainly was good enough of one to get to the pros but I think he's ultimately #3 on this list.
He's regressing athletically. He's always been a step too slow getting to where he needs to be but now he's 3-4 steps too slow and he's getting toasted by just about anyone he attempts to try and cover.
Coaches like him (and Neimann) because they're good in the film room and know where they need to be....they just can never get there.
IMO, when Armani Watts has been on the field, he's played marginally well. Maybe he doesn't show up in the classroom/film study and coaches are stubbornly hesitant putting him out there. But at this point you have to chance it because he's causing the team problems and you've ran out of options.
But Sorensen is costing this team wins...so is Neimann. If Watts or O'Daniel can't beat out Sorensen or Neimann at this point then WTF are they even on the team? They've been on the roster this being their 4th season, they're former '18 3rd rd picks top125 players. Sorensen and Neimann were UDFA for a reason. You gotta know what you have/what you dont. It's maddening. Spags needs to do SOMETHING different.
And the worst thing about all of this...
At some point DS is going to make some huge important game changing play late in the year or in the playoffs that'll band-aid all of his previous horrendous play through out the season and people like Spags will be tempted to play him even more because "he makes big plays".
