He definitely has the potential to be a playmaker in this defense, all we have to do is put him in a position to succeed (aka in the box SS), minimize how often he gets left alone in coverage, and make sure that he's completely healthy.

You don't continue trotting a guy out on defense when he presents a huge liability. It took a while before the Cowboys realized it with Roy Williams even though the glitzy hits were great to look at on Sportscenter.

It's also the reason why the Patriots just up and released their 2 time pro-bowl safety Brandon Meriweather with no real backup in place.
