One of the knocks on him is poor run support, and despite the one hit against Cal that everyone is drooling over, apparently he wasn't a very physical tacker. And that was before fracturing his shoulder.
I think he's a good player, but I think too many people are making assumptions from one play that showed run support and big hitting - two of his weaknesses apparently.

I saw him play a lot, and he's a good player. the Terps were particularly very physical during the Cal game, and maybe people are blowing that out of proportion (shit, for once people are blowing something positive out proportion though, so I'm fine with that). Maryland has produced some very good defensive player drafted in the later rounds, Domonique Foxworth comes to mind, a low round CB that has turned out to be a good starter in the league. Madieu Williams is another, I think he was drafted in the mid to lower rounds and is a pretty good starter.
