That's the big difference tackling made today. I remember one time Knight missed a tackle, but the play didn't go anywhere. Other than that, I can't think of any of those 'gifts' we've enjoyed the last six or eight years where a guy should be stopped after two or three yards, and we'd eventually catch him 25-30 yards later.
Now if we could take care of the whole "TE over the middle" problem, we'd be golden.
