I really like our corners right now.

I don't think Gaines is attempting arm tackles because he's an unwilling tackler.
I think he's attempting arm tackles because he's over run plays and throwing out his arm as a last attempt to make the play.

He's gotta clean that up.

He is missing tackles that are keeping the D on the field.

I agree, Milk. I don't think he's timid to tackle at all. As you suggest, his ball tracking skills (or lack of them) get him into trouble. I definitely think that's his real weakness. Shore that up and I think the tackling will also improve.
