Tyson J plays LDE, which is the side Gore took when the run play began. So, TJ actually stuffed the play and the rest of the team came in there as support on the pile. Gore peeled off the play and that is when DJ should have been waiting, but he was out of position and Gore went flying past.
With the one gap scheme, DJ needs to stay in position or this team is going to give up a ton of big plays on the ground this year.
It is so hard to let the play develop and wait for it to come to you before you go make the tackle -- it seems impossible for DJ. All that speed and athleticism is wasted when he doesn't play smart ball.
If he had simply stayed in position, away from the pile and waited for the runner, he could have tackled Gore for lil to no gain. That's what good backers do.
Albert was disappointing, to say the least. He doesn't know this offense, obviously. Holding out was a bad idea.

good football post. I agree with everything except Baldwin. The difference with him and Bowe is that by year 3, Bowe had shown something to go along with the bad. Baldwin's done nothing positive at all. He looks slow, for being big, he can't fight off press coverage, and he doesn't catch anything. He's terrible.
