Philly CB's = Poor Tacklers

[CowboysWarRoom]

This was retweeted by NFL scout Dave Razzano, and it's a pretty interesting read. Doesn't mean much if they cover the guy, but with the strength of Dez and Miles, I see some missed tackles in our future.

"last 3 years Asante and Nnamdi are among the 5 worst CBs in missed tackles per attempt"

DRC narrowly missed the bottom 15 as well.

Alas, I do to, but I am watching Mike "Collision Avoidance System" Jenkins...

Thanks for providing this link; it gives very good information.

Recently, I recall reading somewhere that the Eagles' coaches often chided Asante Samuel for his poor tackling, and this link pretty much confirms the validity of what was reported, as he is at the top of the list for Tackle Attempts per Miss from 2008-2010.

However, I will give him credit for his playmaking skills and ability to generate turnovers.

Yes, I was thinking about this the other day. The Boys have two, big, young athletic tackles and good blocking receivers. Make them tackle with perimeter runs, bubble screens.
