he's also been getting burned and using poor form tackling guys, trying to shoulder tackle people instead of wrapping up. i think most of his problems are because of the fact that he was so much more athletic than people in college. he could use poor technique and be overly aggressive and dominate college receivers. he's hitting quite the learning curve facing nfl receivers. but yeah, he's already proven to be very dangerous in the return game.

that offsides timeout was pretty embarrassing too

He needs to train in the offseason with Nnamdi or Revis. He just needs some technique to go along with his talent. He can't manhandle peeps in the NFL like in college. Give him a couple years and I still say he's an All-Pro.


ETA:

Eric Berry was having the same learning curve before his injury, but getting much better. He was just more gifted than college players as well.

Yeah, he got abused this weekend it seemed. Missing tackles, getting burnt. Twas not pretty. BUT, he will learn. STEEP learning curve at CB in the NFL.
