Here's another way to look at it - think of how many times DJ just took out a RBs legs. He wasn't a guy that was going chest to chest to wreck RBs. Far more often than not, he'd dive at legs and try to just sweep 'em out.
That leaves you just as exposed if you fail to execute it as a drag tackle would. But DJ was excellent at it. But what he did left him flailing at air if he missed. Cunningham also tries to remove the legs from the equation but he wraps first. An argument could be made that his technique is the best of both worlds, to a degree.
It would take a more football savvy person than me to make it, but I think it's there for people more versed in defensive technique than I am.
