This. I don't give a s**t if you're not the worlds best tackler. Cover the guy so he can't catch the ball.

I liked that cause it showed he is learning from his mistakes. Against the Ravens he let Andrews score without so much as a push. This week he put a shoulder on Cook to try and force the ball to be incomplete (which he did but that's another story)

if you want to see guys just catch the ball because a CB can't cover then you're totally wrong.
I bet you hated Deion sanders
Coverage >>>>> tackling for a CB
So predictable you would bring up Deion but not everyone has his world class speed.

Man Thomas was pushing off all day
ALL DAY, man. Was driving me nuts.
Should have been an easy call there. Witherspoon has a great chance at the pick there if Thomas doesn't OPI

Any reporters ask why we didn't challenge that play? They ended up scoring later after that.

It's not like we've never seen good coverage be beat by good routes and good ball placement.
Also no one plays man to man coverage every snap. You don't think tackling is vital playing zone coverage?

What does speed have to do with tackling? What spoon isn't fast? Dude a 4.4 guy...plenty of speed.
Anyone will take top end coverage skills over tackling as a outside CB.

If you can't cover you can't play CB period.

We stopped them anyways but such a crapshoot to challenge these PI calls. Even though it looked obvious as Offensive PI why risk losing a challenge when you stopped them too.

Xavier Rhodes is a really good tackler. And pre game receivers are deciding what kinda jelly they are gonna have with their burnt toast they are about to have with Rhodes.
