He hasn't lost 2 steps. He was just never two steps ahead to begin with. Fitz has made a living off great hands and concentration in contested/tight coverage situations and gaining separation by being a technician at selling his routes against DB's as fast as or faster then he. But when you aren't fast to begin with and THEN lose a step or even half-step...it means it's easier for a younger, faster DB to recover and close even when you do sell the route.he should not lose 2 steps at 31 yrs old. well, if you listen to quack drs and put crap in your body and likely have a terribad workout program if your diet is any indication then ya, you lose 2 steps and destroy your career. that is clearly what happened here.
find another modern wr who has fell apart at 31? i mean, reggie wayne is still going strong at 37. he proly still eats meat to. lol larry. lol diets. lol quack drs. lol me for drafting this naive clown.
I do think last night was a low mark for him this season. And there will be some games where he leads in targets. But I do think many of his proponents may need to adjust their expectation ceiling downward a bit. Arians still likes the vertical game. Fitz getting looks in the slot won't be equal to looks in the slot in other offenses. Had Reggie Wayne had a WR the caliber of Floyd v.2014 on the other side of him, I daresay that would have had a negative impact on his numbers.
Fitz is still going to contribute mightily in terms of the real football for the Cardinals this year. But I think the rumors of his demise weren't as greatly exaggerated as some thought.
