Don't think it's concussions. Foley mentioned something during the Canes game about a lower body injury and Rutta wouldn't be in and out of the lineup as much as he has if it was anything to do with the brain/head.

he might have both, but he clearly wasnt the same when he got back after his concussion, his gap and play reading ability was awful after that. He was clearly timid to jump into the play and stand guys up to be aggressive. Hes gotten a little better as of late, but he isnt nearly as confident in trying to shut down plays like he was when he first started. But to you point, if its lower body, he might now just be playing conservative to not let guys burn him and get behind him
