^ Yup this is true. His willingness isn't an issue at all, it's his ability to tackle that needs work
For what it's worth he was tied for 6th best run defender according to PFF last year with a 81.5 grade. So I'm not sure it's that big of an issue. But I looooove this signing, interested to see what his deal is but I really like this kid and think he's gonna be super solid in the slot. Him and Womack are good depth, now we need to draft a young safety who can fill in for Gibson next year and our secondary is looking real nice. Maybe also a late round flier on another outside CB for depth and development for when inevitably one of our guys gets injured.
A+ free agency signing in my opinion
Yeah last season was his best by far and I just hope it wasn't an anomaly. My point with my original post was more that "of the two"; his ability to tackle needs more work than his willingness to tackle, because Hysterikals post was an obvious shot at Witherspoon.
