I really like our corners right now.

He does need to improve as a tackler, but tackling ability for a corner isn't as important as coverage ability for a corner.

Like the houston missed tackle, the problem there was his missed tackle, but just as much so in asking a poor tackler to make that tackle. It wasn't a simple play.

He's going to be asked to make those tackles more and more often, as teams will throw screens to that side until he proves it, as they've been doing. If we have to shade help over to his side because we can't trust him to tackle, then that's proof that his tackling is a liablity.

That drive against Houston illustrates how people are over rating him.

Misses huge tackle: "Don't worry about tackling, it's all about his coverage"

Subsequently surrenders a 16.5 yard gain on 3rd and 17: Crickets.

PFF stats come out illustrating that he's having some struggles: Crickets.

It was a good route by a good wr. Guys get beat, it happens. I'm not gonna run the guy up the pole for getting beaten by hopkins. Tough play.

But he does need to play better, I don't disagree.

Im not concerned about his coverage. His coverage is adequate most of the time. I brought that example up because im tired of hearing this argument that his inadequacies are a trade off because of his superior coverage skills.

Bullshit.

His coverage isn't THAT great to where we can excuse his problems.
