Said earlier on in the thread, it was noticeable to me Kyle’s reflex’s/reactions had gotten slower and his recovery abilities were on the wane and that was 18 months ago, it’s very noticeable now to more people.
He still has a lot to offer the team, gone are the days of him being a marauding full back, 2 or 3 times a game, maybe, but now, we (and Kyle himself) have to manage him better and let him conserve his energy for the defensive side of his game.
The problem Kyle will have (and this isn’t a criticism, more an observation and happens with virtually ALL elite athletes) is that he’ll struggle to come to terms with losing what he once had as he gets older, but he needs to adapt his game more than ever now.
