Mitchell needs to time his pursuit, the point of impact to the hole when the HB gets there, if not he better be man enough to shed the block to get the tackle. Mitchell has to look at be blocking going into the hole before he commits his point of attack.

If he held off any longer he would have missed him completely.
He was right there waiting for Pittman but there was a blocker right in front of him. Warfield had his hands on him but couldn't hold on long enough. If anyone overpursued it was Fujita. He was in the hole and picked up by the tight end 2 seconds before Pittman made it to where he was. To me it appears that Mitchell was right where he was supposed to be but unfortunately there was a blocker right there to. The thing that really bothered me was Wesley was just standing there like he thought Mitchell had instead of being back in a position to make an assist and never even pursued the damned ball until they were running right by him. At least Woods was trying to get over but he was being blocked by two guys.
