Yeah. I'm a big Roddy supporter because you can tell he has the abilities and tools because he's obviously shown us something to get excited about. Then all of the sudden it seems like he forgets how to play or maybe I should say seems scared to play - if he doesn't fix the mental fortitude aspect of his game then he'll never become the player we think he can be. That's his next big hurdle, over coming inconsistency, playing with confidence, and over coming bad stretches but still playing your own game (like Dirk, Jet). We'll see if the kid can do it.
