He's not playing well on D. The speculation for why stems from his actions and lack of commitment in the off season.People keep saying he does not look locked in on twitter, others are saying bench him... The kid is literally one of our best players on D. He will 100% be playing on Sunday if he stays out of trouble. If he gets in trouble cut him, but if you don't like him, or his so called attitude, well keep your mouth shut, let the damn coaches handle it, because we need him, end of story.
He's an elite talent to be sure. But he was involved in a lot of those coverage busts. Maybe if he'd been in the film room and working with his team mates this summer he would have been better prepared. I don't know anything about his "attitude" however I have to believe if the two starting CBs were healthy his role wouldn't be what it is.
