I disagree. He takes on and sheds blocks really well. He isn't Brian Noble, but in todays game he is as good as most. I think we have a player here. My comment about staying on the field is regarding silly ejections, injuries and just generally finding ways to be off the field so far in a very young career. I have really high expectations (similar to Gary, I hated the pick, but I have to bow to Gutes on this one).
