Every starting DB can hit and wrap up

[GhostRecon_Cane]

Something we DEFINITELY did not see last year. Opposing WRs would catch a 5 yard pass and fall forward for 5 extra yards after contact. Not the case this year.

 

[AtlAtty]

These boys are different. We haven’t seen db play like this since Michael Jackson and Redwine and those guys were playing.

 

[RozayCane]

We really gotta give it up to Mario after taking last year defensive performance to heart and completely revamping the whole dam thing for the better

 

[Cajuncane]

Yea we finally got us a DC who focuses on fundamentals..

 

[CaneandAbel]

Alot more disciplined from last year but perimeter tackling still kind of worries me a lil bit

Best open field tackling I’ve seen from us in a looooong time

I can’t even remember the last time we’ve tackled this well. Especially in the secondary.

 

[TrojanCane]

For the most part even the backups were playing fast and disciplined, love to see it.

 

[TitansHope]

tackling across the board has been rock solid and you can tell hetherman's "swarm to the ball" ethos has absolutely taken root. these guys are absolutely flying to the ball, so many plays where we ended up having 5 or 6 orange jerseys bringing a guy down. and that continued even after the backups came in.

i didn't mind when they got beat ... we're up in the face of the wr and it's gonna happen ... now make the qb get up and do it again

Better athletes. Taller, stronger and faster. One missed tackle doesn’t last long because the 2nd guy is right there.

Remember the 1st half sack when Brown escaped Toure, then Bain, then looked up and ran into Blount and Mesidor. 4 guys had a shot at him. The first 2 missed the sack but we don’t even remember that because the 3rd and 4th guys.

literally when brown spun out of the first couple guys i could feel myself going "oh here we go" and expecting him to run for the first down, and then he got immediately swarmed. the difference is VERY noticeable

IS IT SAFE TO SAY HE TOOK IT PERSONALLY!?!

#13 is a superstar in the making.

 

[GirthQuake]

I think it gets better as they gel throughout the season.

So glad we didn’t overthink that recruitment.

Jakobe Thomas has a PhD in how to perform the textbook tackle.

Not saying you’re wrong or anything but this is a problem across college football. The rules have had an effect

To your point though I agree and just makes the swarming part more important

#13 is a superstar in the making.

But not due to his tackling. Best ball hawk we’ve had since… but not a great tackler as of now. He at least isn’t allergic to it
