Some of it might be that we associated "effort in tackling" with good tackling. When Peters avoids contact, people get upset about it, so when we got a CB who at least attempts to tackle every down and every play, I think people associated "attempts to tackle every play" with "WILL tackle every play." EDIT: Just now saw your response to DJ's Left Nut |

When he's trapped in space against a guy, going may well be the smart play. When a RB has a head of steam, it almost certainly is. But I'll watch him more closely to see if he looks to be avoiding contact the same way Peters was. 'Willing' /= 'goes high'. It just means he's going to go in there and actually try to make the stop. For a guy that size, the best way to make that stop is generally going low. But maybe I'm wrong and he's just pussing out rather than hitting low as a technique.

I often find Ragland to be a victim of misreads especially in zone coverages.

In fact, the same thing can be said for Hitchens as well. Our inside linebackers suck at reads

Ragland looks like a guy who has a knee that is bothering him and he is a horrible coverage backer.
Until O'Daniel can get up to speed him playing on passing downs is going to be a problem. |

I really thought O'Daniel was going to carve himself a nice role on this team because of his ability to defend the pass better than the linebackers we currently have but I haven't heard a sniff in regards to his development.

I brought this up two weeks ago....but how often does Reid/Sutton throw rookies in there? 1st round picks....sure. They're supposed to be able to start right away. But you're talking about a 3rd round pick who has to learn the playbook and be able to diagnose shit like a veteran.

He also missed a lot of TC IIRC.

When you miss over half of training camp as a rookie you won’t see the field for awhile.
