He's better than last year because of health. On the TD to Dez I thought he had pretty good coverage...sometimes you can bve in position and the QB makes a good throw.
I can't tell if he's not getting thrown on a lot because he's playing well or because someone else is playing worse. I don't think he's been a dumpster fire so far. The sulking during the CHI game didn't help though.

For all his bonehead behavior, I don't think you can cut him mid-season. Injuries and depth at CB dictate that. Wouldn't shock me if he gets buried on the depth chart by the time his contract expires just because they will draft/develop other players who could leapfrog him if the lightbulb doesn't go on soon.
