He seems to be backing himself in more, similar to his 2021 mindset. The past month has seen almost twice as many intercepts as his 2022 season average. His first month back he was caught hesitating - being in that neither here nor there mode where you're not locking down on a player but also not sagging off to provide effective rebound. Having stints up forward can't have helped. Too many cooks in the kitchen alongside Sav? Perhaps. Either way, what he's been doing is giving us another player like Stewart: more of a back flanker with height, rather than a KPD.
He has the agility and athleticism to play that running rebound role. I just hope he doesn't have further debilitating set backs. It takes a while to get properly back into rhythm and find one's mojo, as well as cohesion within the team.
De Koning has also bounced back. We are still leaking too many soft goals but hopefully together they sharpen up by season's end.
