I know the coaching was lacking last season, but Vernon has to take some accountability for why he didn't play as well. He's always had the reputation of being a player that does just enough to get by. Last year, he apparently struggled with learning the blocking schemes. The word on him last year was that he was a guy with great natural size, raw ability, a terrific hand punch, and a very likeable guy, but he didn't know his assignents and wasn't very good on combo blocks. The latter comment means that when he combo blocked with a guard, he ended up knocking the guard off the block instead of getting the man double teamed.
