Re-watching parts of the game now & a few things to note on the Run D;
Bobby Wagner must still be hurt or just regressing mightily cause I couldn't count on 2 hands how many times he was out of assignment, missed a tackle, or simply washed up by Tampa's O-line.
Pete lightweight touched on it post game saying he believes the D is often going for the big hit or strip (Hi, Earl Thomas!) as opposed to simply making the tackle. KJ Wright and his attempted one arm tackles get a share of the blame, too. Mebane and McDaniel as well. Yards after contact have been horrid the past two games.
Can a D-line be 'too' active? They caught some major lanes on HB draws, even so going back to the Rams game. With quick backs like James, Stacy already taken advantage, and Jizz Rodgers next week I hope this isn't something that carries over another week.
Big Red is done.
Thinking back to the Tennessee/Arizona games Malcolm Smith is dearly missed.
