Quote:  How much of this do you feel is because of the player compared to the coaching he's receiving?

 

Tackling, I put on the player.  By the time you reach the NFL, you should already have that skill.

 

Admittedly, it's something SORELY lacking in the NFL in general.  This is made even worse by the new CBA effectively reducing the amount of contact allowed in Practice.

 

At the NFL Level, I don't think coaches have the time to spare to teach someone how to tackle.  That's a fundamental.  If you don't have it, well...

 

Additionally, it's been something that's been consistent with him his entire career.

 

All of that said, though... I don't think our coaching staff has done him any favors.  They've kind of coddled him from negativity.
