I think a tell tell of his tackling technique should come from another hit.
Not an open field "kill shot" opportunity against a young phenom (Buga) or the starting QB in the natty.... I want a guy that wants a kill shot.
Show me him doing this shite on a routine toss sweep play and I will be more concerned.

Exactly, someone with some sense.
But not lets keep insisting he "hasn't changed"
Ignore articles before the season from coaches stating how much better he has gotten. Ignore experts that say he's arguably the best tackler in the draft. And ignore 95% of the tackles he makes.
I am sure if I went back and critiqued every round 1 LB projected player in the draft, they hit with their crown at least once a game.

Bump

Oh Throbinhood......What was that again?

quote:

Weaknesses
Instincts are just average. Overly reliant on speed and athleticism over instincts and feel. Can be a tick slow to respond to play-action. Inconsistent defeating blocks. Too eager to take on everyone at the point of attack. Gets shoulder covered up firing into incoming blockers. Needs to improve stack and shed technique to keep himself clean. Will drop his head at times as tackler. Poor tackling technique led to "stinger" issues early in his career.


quote:

Sources Tell Us
"He's not a MIKE linebacker. I think he's a pure run-and-hit WILL linebacker with good cover talent. I'm worried about what his medicals will show because he's had some issues with stingers during his career. I have a higher grade on him than I had on Reggie Ragland. Better pro potential to me." -- NFC director of scouting


quote:

Has Pro Bowl potential as a 3-4 inside linebacker or a 4-3 weak-side linebacker, but concerns over his medical history could be a consideration, according to some teams.
