I think the reason shady looks a step slow is because he doesn't have confidence in the o-line. He, Ritchie, Wood, and Glenn had played a lot of games together and worked well together over a period of time. Throw in the fact that Glenn, Ritchie and Eric are gone along with a new offense. a young QB and no threat at WR and it appears to me, shady is trying to do to much. He still has a lot of tread on his tires and I think he can produce at a high level for maybe 2 additional seasons beyond this year. He has an amazing knack for making guys miss and for avoiding the big hit. I think he and ivory can be a great 1-2 punch for a couple more seasons. If we improve the o-line going forward
