Silly. We could become more aggressive on our first defensive play. -
What's the argument in this stat? That our most productive tacklers also miss more tackles than the rest of the team? I think that's always going to be the case. I'm not necessarily defending those guys for missing too many tackles, just saying I don't know if there's actually a legitimate point being made. Also, to the bolded, I do think part of the blame for missed tackles belongs to Bradley. Not all, not even most, but some. Too often, the conservative scheme allows receivers to catch the ball with no defenders around, so now your would-be tacklers are trying to close the distance and make a tackle on a receiver who has time to adjust and change direction. Giving the amount of space and cushion we routinely give makes it harder to tackle in the open field. And all four of those guys in the stat play in space. Those guys also have been run over in the open field at times, so I'm not trying to excuse all of their bad tackling. But I don't think Bradley is completely free from responsibility. -

Glad hes back, he played great!! Hats off to Pinter to he played very well! the OL was much better this week. Not sure if it was the opponent or just better play. my guess is much better play. -
Thank you for the compliment. I agree with a lot of this, including the idea that some analysis has more merit than other. And I got the feeling that some of your viewpoint applied on a more macro level than just to this specific situation. Like you said, people judge something on the basis of whether or not they agree with it, whether it confirms or challenges their currently held opinion/belief, etc. So in that way, anything that's critical of Bradley is probably going to be popular when most people view Bradley unfavorably. But yeah, in this case, it's not just randos arguing that the DC is stupid and doesn't know anything.

Going to be a big shake up with the Giants. Maybe we can find away to reacquire Okeroke.
