That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying when he plays with Johnny and Monahan, who are pretty slick, he falls into a habit of trying to do fancier plays like they do. He forces low percentage passes and gets away from his hard hitting game. It's not attitude at all. I am not suggesting this is intentional or that he's not trying hard. I'm just saying it's a habit he sometimes gets into. Any player can get away from their A game like that.
