Donte is a BALL HAWK

Quickly becoming one of my favorite draft picks.

Tackling issues are a lot easier to fix than a CB with stone hands, not to mention the critical component forcing TO's plays in the NFL. 

Donte is fine. 

[Zaximus]

The TOs are cool and the nice tackle for LOS but then the next 3-4 plays missed tackles/whiffs.     If he can learn to tackle at least 50% better then I'd be excited but he gives up way more yards than he takes away.   

[JawnyBlaze]

His tackling is overblown. He’s not the best at it, I think he shies away from RBs when bearing down on him cuz he’s a little guy, but he’s the best player I remember at closing and tackling on screen passes. He’ll get juked, but at least he’s not out there just trying to shoulder tackle like Reid all the time.

It does seem like Dante takes a lot of chances, some of which result in interceptions, others that leave him out of position. This game would have taken a different direction had the Cardinals been able to hold onto the pass towards the end of the first half and had been able to hit the wide open receiver in the second. 

[DeAngelo Beason]

His second INT was one of the most beautiful picks I've ever seen.

[Ricky Spanish]

Jackson had a mixed bag, today. 

He completely whiffed on a few tackles but had those two picks. 

He also tried to jump a route and abandoned his assignment and the receiver dropped a wide open reception with no one between him and the endzone. That was a bad blown coverage.

I'd give him a solid B for the day. The picks make up for his shortcomings, but he needs to be more consistent in his coverage and tackling.

If he tightens up his tackling he will be a premier corner.  How many premier coverage CBs are strong tacklers though? (genuine question)  I think his problem is he plays so fast that his tackling suffers.  Prime example is the David Johnson touchdown.  Dante had him dead to rights but basically overran the tackle.

[SmittyCity]

Anyone else hold their breath when Jackson got the pick and then started waving the ball around with one hand as he ran?

[Mr. Scot]

I'm reminded of Charles Godfrey, honestly.

Godfrey was good for an occasional "highlight reel" play. And if those were the only things you paid attention to, you'd have thought he was one of the best DBs in the league.

If you watched full game film on him though, yikes!

Yes. He almost cost the team a touchdown on that one blown coverage where he bit. Still happy he made two big plays. But there’s always room for improvement.
