No, actually he is pretty damned skilled. Remember that we already know he's being dosed with RC suppressants to keep his levels down. That would obviously impact his performance, since we know they get used in the prison to weaken the prisoners.

The only Ghouls he's had trouble against with high-rated ones.

Nishiki is an S~ and Takizawa is an SS~. Those ratings are stated to require at least one Special Class to challenge.

So Sasaki, who is in an already weakened state and likely doesn't eat well/often, is still strong enough to take down most Ghouls. But has difficulty against high-ranked Ghouls that are meant to be challenged by Senior Investigators.
