I was a big Meriweather fan prior to the draft. He was very instinctive and reactive in college while now he seems to be hesitant, as if every move he makes needs to be considered over and over in his head before proceeding. Even his dropped INT last night can be related to this common rookie malady - many a star player in college wakes up mid-season in the NFL and feels completely lost and suddenly isn't even trusting his natural ability, like the skill to snatch a ball out of the air.
Some guys get over this hump, some don't, but BB seems to specialize in dismantling a rookie's college game and forcing them so hard to convert to BB's style that they smell like a bust because they don't even look good early on. Think Warren, Samuels, Sanders, Jackson, Wilfork, and others. This list doesn't guarantee that Meriweather will be the next dude to come around but his spotty play up to this point isn't a complete surprise.
