Every starting DB can hit and wrap up

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.

That sack was a thing of beauty, I watched it at least 15 times. I can’t remember the last time I seen a Miami defensive line play like that. That was championship effort coming from the team leaders, now that’s how you build a rock solid culture.

Big difference from last season. Even our LB's tracking RB's to the flats and tackling them for 3-4yd gains.

Yeah I found myself expecting the tackle. Wes was all over a guy in the flat.
I was upset at the one missed tackle in the flat on a 3rd down until I realized it was Lightfoot trying to chase down Nimrod, who is a really good WR by the way. The question was did USF just find the right matchup, or did we have the wrong matchup?

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

He's trying I'll give that to him, but it's obvious he doesn't like it.

Hopefully this off-season he puts on some good weight which builds his confidence to stick his noise in the mix.
