If Earl had started this year with the team and the secondary sucked, he may have had more to loose than just games.
His lack of interceptions and turnovers in general may have been questioned and exploited even further. The LOB was a security blanket that insulated him. Think about how much we've learned about him and his personality since the Cowboys game.
On top of game checks, I think he is concerned about his lasting legacy. I think he wants to be remembered as one of the game's very best - ever. He pushes to be the best, and trains like a beast, but let's face it, this defense is young and loaded with questions.
