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.

Sure, he needs to improve on it.
But even if he doesn't, he can still be a valuable piece here because of his coverage ability.
Moving on.
Also, hard to really go with "cost the team a chance at a win". Theres so many missed plays in a game it's tough to fault something like that too hard. Maybe I'm wrong here, but it's the same as a kicker missing a kick at the buzzer. Yeah, you lost because he missed, but there were like 10 plays during the game that would have changed the game.
