Thomas Davis's missed tackle


Recommended Posts

I think this play was the turning point in the game.  After that missed tackle and long run.

 

TD went crazy.  The man was possessed.  He wasn't just tackling, he was crushing people.  Some of the hits he had after that missed tackle I could feel.

 

Luke and TD shift to a gear that we need to stay in.  Our defense turned out a great second half and it was because of the intensity of these two LBers.

 

 

Anybody else notice the change after that missed tackle?

I've yet to watch the game off my DVR and I missed whatever tackle you're referring to live, but I noticed a fire in TD and Luke yesterday that I haven't seen much before and that's saying something... I saw both of them just put punishing hits on guys yesterday that normal men would not have gotten up from.

Is this missed tackle everyone is referring to the one where Forte runs to the right, gets hit by TD, but then bounced off of it for like a 17 yard gain?

Edit: http://www.gfycat.com/ForcefulHealthyBlackbird my memory is way too fuzzy. Is it this play?

 

Yes that was it.  TD hit him good but Forte Lowered his shoulder and bounce off.  It pissed TD off.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
