Maybe it was a singular event (costing the team a shot at a win), but his arm tackle attempts is a pattern thus far.
I never said he can't correct it, nor have i written him off. I said he needs to improve on it.
Unlike Gaines, DJ, Houston and Berry have made a career out of being All-Pro worthy defenders. We KNOW those guys can lay the wood. Them missing tackles is not a concern of mine, as i know more often than not they're nails.
I don't care about guys missing tackles here and there. I care when it looks like it's a developing pattern. Which is what we have in Gaines at the moment.
