Tackling has been an issue for him since college. For the life of me, I do not understand what the team sees in him. Yes, he can cover (he was a former safety), and perhaps has leadership skills. But I greatly prefer Marcell Harris. He may miss once in a while, I mean many players do, but his football IQ is up there and he looks to create turnovers.

After Al-Shaair there is a big drop off with DFF, Harris and Gerry. I really liked Jonas Griffith's film and we may end up regretting that trade if more injuries set in.

In that case I would seriously consider moving Huff down in the box to play the weak side in certain looks.

I know right? It's bad enough Jimmy can't get an interception to save his life and he supposed to be such a great tackler, (which he usually is solid) but come on man that was embarrassing.

Yeah I wasn't really sure how I felt about that trade either. On 1 hand it's nice to turn excess depth into assets but on the other hand Jonas Griffith was making waves in camp and had some solid pays in preseason. Maybe Denver didn't call no take backs.

The guy makes plays every single game. Hell of a find for a '19 undrafted LB.

Missed tackle and his tackle that pushed the receiver over the first down line.

The double team blocks come for Warner. Leaving him free to run.

A huge amount of attention comes for him on the blocking schemes. Allowing Azeez Al Shaair to run free. Running something he does well. He is fast and he is making plays. I'm glad he's making plays. It's just not apples to apples. The blocking focuses on Warner.

That doesn't explain Warner shooting the wrong gaps
