But as has always been the case in a capped league, you aren't going to be able to have 11 pro bowl guys on a defense. Sean smith was similar in traits. Not a great tackler, kind of meh ball skills, but he could cover here.
Not every player is gonna be an all pro.

Im not asking him to be all pro or even a Pro-Bowler. Im fully aware that we can't have stars at all positions. If Gaines had Smith's physicallity this wouldn't be a conversation right now.
Im not asking him to tackle like Eric Berry. Im asking him to not miss wide-the ****-open tackles.
He's not tackling like an NFL Corner right now. Please, i would LOVE it if he tackled like Sean Smith. Tackle like Marcus Peters. You don't need to be Brandon Flowers, but you can't be as much of a liability as he's been.
His missed tackle in Houston, and then allowing a huge gain to Hopkins on that same drive on a 3rd and 17....that may well have cost us that game. At the very least, it put the game out of reach and killed any chance at a come back.
Jesus guys, my complaints have already been fleshed out this season, and you're still trying to argue it's not a big deal??? C'mon now....
