(I think Colvin was dinged up and Ramsey slid inside leaving Bouye and Myrick outside, but I'm not sure I'm remembering that exactly right.) 

He looked pretty good that day. Raw and unpolished, but his speed helped him recover. They did try to target him when he came in and he held up.

He's got time to get stronger and develop the technique to be a gunner. Don Carey wasn't good at it right away either - but the Lions voted him their ST MVP for three consecutive years recently.

He came in for the second half of the Bengals game after Ramsey was ejected at the end of the first half.
I think that Colvin went outside and Myrick was nickel for like a dozen snaps. They went after him a bit but he didn't allow a completion, I remember Marrone praising him after the game.

He clearly has to improve (they admitted that much when they kept him on the roster, he's here because of potential, his current level wouldn't have warranted him a place on the roster) and I think they are working hard on him.
Super fast though, I remember when he blocked the XP that was then scooped by Colvin against the 49ers I think...Colvin was running for the TD and Myrick after the block just ran him down to escort him to the end zone like he was taking a walk at the park. I really hope he can develop at least as a solid rotation player.

Still hoping we get a good CB in the draft, still hoping Hayden will prove us all wrong as it really stands out as a difficult deal to understand.
