Rather than methodical, I would describe him as tentative. Granted, no one gave him much of a hole to work but as (was it Gale Sayers?) has been said: "Give me 18 inches of daylight and I am gone".
TT used to slide though a slot sideways, spin, square off, and run up the gut. Willis seems to be waiting for a door to open.
I will admit he got better as the game progressed.
We are NOT dooooomed!
