Gaines isnt half as bad a tackler as Detoxing is making him out to be, and that play where DJ was late getting over to help was 100% on DJ... when all is said and done, Gaines is going to be an excellent cover corner for us

Re-watch the play. Please. DJ was late, but he took on the block. Gaines had a free shot at the carrier and did what he always does....stick his arm out....
Now explain to me how DJ makes that tackle for Gaines.....
Is your argument, "Hey, had DJ been there he coulda made the tackle"?
Sure. That's probably true. But that doesn't excuse Gaines for not making the tackle. He has to make that play. Are we building a Championship D or not?
I made this observation in week ONE and told i was full of shit, then we saw it rear its ugly head in week two, and it cost the team a chance at the end.
We're only 3 games into the season and my concerns have already been validated.
He needs to tackle like a man, or we're going to see screens and runs in his direction a lot more often.
