Myles Jack can't tackle

I've never seen a starting LB this bad at tackling.

It's not that he can't tackle, obviously, but he does get washed out of the play too easily which will probably always be a problem given his size and fondness for trying to stack and shed instead of avoiding blockers. Of course he makes up for it in many other ways.

To me it looks like Myles recovers well and sheds the initial block, makes the correct angle to tackle the runner and only begins to stumble when he attempts to adjust to get around the poor angle that Barry Church made.

Then again, that's just my observation.

Sorry I don't know how to do the GIF thing lol, but Jack was never catching Powell. Also yes Church really blew it too.

That's the McGuire run, not Powell. 

What really happened was that Jack was blocked away from the play near the line of scrimmage, then broke to the play but Church's bad angle took Jack out of the play. 

You can clearly see Jack try to adjust his angle as Church starts to cut him off - but loses footing on the cut  just a tiny bit  and he can't avoid Church. Jack may have had a chance if Church didn't shut him off.

Yeah I meant McGuire wasn't focusing on that part of the analysis my bad. As the all 22 showed though, there was far too much distance between Jack and McGuire he wasn't catching him there. At least not at that point. If Church didn't get in the way he might have caught him like 20 yards downfield.

EDIT: Actually, he wasn't catching him period.

Elijah McGuire (@Mr_Adversityy) reached a max speed of 21.74 MPH on his 69-yard TD run, the fastest speed by a ball carrier in Week 4

Church has been faulted for that play by more than one analyst including Boselli.

Jack is learning a new position while being the QB of the defense. I think it's fair to say there may be a bit of a learning curve. Are we ready to write him off already? Hell it took Telvin half his rookie season to even be decent enough to get on the field as he had a bit of a learning curve too. And he didn't have to call plays. How about we give Jack a chance?

Someone had the wisdom and foresight....

I was gonna write something about blanket statements and how folks seemingly can't show patience for a player to develop and how human beings have survived on this planet almost solely due to their innate ability to learn, but then I got tired and soul sick and I wrote this "Peanuts of Pathos" bit.
I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
