I've never seen the hype, but really don't need to,if he doesn't hit a guy so hard he personally can't think for two plays I'm OK with it.
Again, I would say that a lot of that is indicative of the quality of DT play in front of him.
Think of it on the opposite end of the spectrum at RB. A lot of times, guys with bad linemen can't hit a hole on time because the hole that is diagrammed isn't there. The lineman hasn't cleaned it up. So they get labeled "dancers" because they're forced to try to create space. They get better linemen and they look like different dudes.
Take Ray Lewis. In between the days where he had Goose and Adams taking on blockers, people were wondering if he still had it. In comes Ngata and he's a legend again. The MIKE can only be as good as his DTs.
