I think he plays extremely solid team defense. Yes, he gets beat off the dribble sometimes (which of our guards doesn't?), but a lot of the things that he gets blamed for by some around here is when he's helping cover someone else's deficiency within the team D concept. He goes to double and doesn't quite get back to a three point shooter and folks blame him. In many cases, if he hadn't helped, we'd have given up a sure two.

Taking one play where his feet got twisted and he fell down to act as if that's the norm is just silly. Play long enough and you'll have a highlight like that. Just watched Cam Newton do it to a very good NFL linebacker this weekend. Made him look silly with a juke.
