Lo Rax, entering his fifth season, is a player who has officially hit "vet status" in the league, especially considering his three straight pro-bowl bids in seasons 11-13. Not to say he wasn't progressing that whole time, but now, his game is nearly as refined as it will likely ever be. Speed, strength, agility, intelligence, and even hands- all maxed out considering his physical limitations.
So what's left to improve? Tackling technique, the fundamentals. They're something you can never drill enough, and Rax is still spending extra time after workouts hitting the tackling dummy. It's not just that- he's working on learning the latest techniques to bring down ball carries, aussie style football rules style, for example. One missed tackle during the season is too many, and if Rax wants to keep his run of pro-bowl seasons going, he's got to stay in the zone, and keep improving. So, tackling dummies in the NOLA facility: beware. Rax is coming for you, baby.
