Watch his left ankle and he went to my highschool, he is a big corner and can come down and stuff the run but watch his left ankle it gives out twice, thats why he just fell mos likely

@VpY22 i totally read your comment wrong, sorry... i have no issue with what you said.

although in all reality perfect tackling form would have him wrapping up the legs anyways... clearly he didn't do that well.

[spinasweetness]

@VpY22 if you square up a dude and use the correct form, it doesn't matter how small you are, he failed cuz he made no attempt to wrap up.

[VpY22]

when you're a small db, best thing to do is go for the legs. you're chances of tackling a running back by squaring him up is below 30%.

nah he did good against megatron cuz he only allowed 2 catches for about 45 yard and 1 td but he knock down 3 or 4 passes and he tackle megatron in open field and made a good play on 3rd and 2 in the 4th quarter
