They can coach ball control skills, and patience to hit the hole, but not overdue it to a point were AD's natural abilities are hindered. Adrian's vision, and instincts can't be coached. Got to find that fine line between patience, and letting it rip without overthinking.

It was starting to hurt us alot last year.
Sure he makes huge plays but after you go 60 yards and then cough up the football the next play, it really didnt make all that much of a difference.

I hope AD expects more out of AD this year.
I saw this article online and I don't know how they can expect much more out of this guy! I guess the one thing would be to take better care of the ball, but we should be thankful for what he's done!
