Has Barrion slipped in his jet sweep elusiveness and decision-making?

Is it just me or does Barrion continually look to always break to the outside, even when it looks like he could break inside for a few more yards on a jet sweep? There was one play, in particular, in the Texas game where I think he could have picked up 5 yards or so and opted to break to the sideline and only got two yards.

Earlier in the year and last year, he would often make a cut to the inside of the blocking WR and cut upfield for his yardage. Now, he seems to be solely trying to break it to the edge -- in essence, to simply outrun all of the defense.

I know he has the speed and there might be questionable WR blocking, but it really seems like the last few games where Bush called a jet sweep with Barrion, he has given up available yardage by not cutting back into the field. Almost as if he is avoiding cutting upfield.

Just wondered if anyone is seeing what I am seeing.
