Like many of us, I give him a pass because of what he did his first year - particularly when you consider that was his second (??) season of playing CB in his life. Unfortunately, the lockout last offseason hurt him the most and he regressed badly last season. His makeup speed is really the best attribute he has right now. You really don't read anything on him progressing as far as technique and tackling. It's obviously early, but it is alarming that the most recent reports are that his play has been "wretched". And if his technique and tackling doesn't improve, he may deserve to be cut, even with all his natural talent. I've said this before, but not sure if its been in this forum, I question whether his success got to his head. Literally, it did with that "wretched" tattoo. But, it's hard not to wonder whether winning a SB and being called a catalyst in that SB run didn't hinder his drive to work hard last offseason.</blockquote>
