The numbers have been great and this is what we pay him for, so it’s good to see it happening in multiple back-to-back games. Today was actually even more encouraging because even though it was Carolina, they run the most zone-heavy scheme in the league and (which he usually struggles with) and he still ran through it. But, all that being said, I still don’t think it’s unfair to wait to see him do it against real (read as: “playoff caliber”) defenses.
(And no, Philadelphia doesn’t count - their pass D is startlingly bad)
