Agree, be fast but under control. Lot of teams run away from him. He does over pursue sometimes and loses gap containment/misses tackles but it's hard to be overly critical of one of the lb's in the nation. He's a tackle machine.

he’s whiffing on TFLs which are crucial in a big game against a team like Bama. He’s over pursuing.



Can you go to Tell the Truth Mondays with"El Duderino" to tell Coach Aranda?

Delpit's emergence is not entirely unrelated to White being keyed upon every play.

So it looks like his next choice has been to basically give white the responsibility of diagnosing the play, and rushing the passer on some pass plays, or dropping into coverage on others (usually depending on what the back does), all while still attempting to maintain his run game gap responsibilities as well.

This is basically what every LB does, on almost every play. That IS the job.

He's just being asked to do too much, and the end result is game film that's gone from Mcshay having him as the #1 mlb in the country, to barely being a top 5 player on his own team. You can't interpret a play and handle so many different responsibilities
you can. But the job of the defense, on every play, is to make the offense account for more people than it possibly can at the point of attack. Plan B, for every individual on that defense, is to win their battle. When we lack support, in this case additional pass rushers, screwing up the offense's numbers game, we're back to Plan B- sometimes Devin wins those battles, sometimes not.

Never fight fair. If one guy, a RB for example, has to choose between Chaisson on the edge getting around a OT and White coming up the middle, no choice is a good choice. The idea is not to simplify White's job. The idea is to complicate the offense's.
