Most inconsistent player on the Panther D

The other team practices too. As much as I'd like to have seen Reid cut him in half, Tannehill does have the athletic ability to make guys miss.

A strip sack and a lot of solid tackles more than make up for that to me. Demanding perfection just isn't reasonable.

I didn't necessarily wanna see him cut Tannehill in half. Doing more than just waving at him as he passed by would have been nice, though.

Nobody's demanding perfection, but a bit more consistency sure wouldn't hurt, especially when we're talking about a veteran. At least with Donte Jackson you can say that he's young and still learning.

If Eric Reid would just wrap up when tackling he'd be one of the best players on our defense.

That being said, Donte Jackson is the most inconsistent player we have on the D.

Jackson is inconsistent largely because of youth and not knowing/understanding what is going on at times. 

Reid is a different type inconsistent.  Think it is more effort at times on select plays.  Reid has the between the ears game on lock. 

Again, not really knocking Reid.  He is good.  He could be dominant though in a way Jackson likely can’t yet (as he needs time/experience).

I would agree with that.

I would call Reid as the most inconsistent player on the or team. With that being said, that's not the 1st time I've seen him whiff on a tackle. I'd like to know what he's thinking. Is he playing not to get hurt??

I would love to see us draft a good safety.  

[Forty-Eight]

I hope we go after Byron Jones next year

Colin Jones is ready

Eric Reid with 9 tackles, 1 sack, and a FF. 
 

I would expect a thread like this to be made from BullCrap123 or EZUPantherFan but not from one of the better posters here in CRA. 

You could argue that’s what makes him inconsistent. He will look spectacular One game or one play and then look lost. I never speak on it because a) any thread even remotely criticizing Eric Reid or Cam Newton turns into a toxic poo show and I want no part of it, and b) I don’t pretend to know the defensive scheme so thoroughly as to know whether it is player X’s fault for being out of position or if he was covering for Player Y who was out of position. Defensive players outside of pass rush can be very difficult to criticize individually, and even with pass rush you have to look at gap assignments, etc. 

Either way I’ll take Reid in a heartbeat over any other option for us. He has done well. He looked bad against SF, but so did every single other player on the team in all 3 phases.

one play he look like a super stud.  Next play he looks like a Charles Godfrey. 

 

One play he is in run support the other he is in coverage, think about it.

Considering what the position looked like prior to his signing, I’ll take it.

The point I am trying to make is, if it is a run, Eric is the last line of support. How many times have you seen Eric make the tackle in the run game. Bingo, almost every time or the CB has to make the tackle. Donte Jackson does not want contact (I need your help Eric Reid to make the tackle). James Bradbury will tackle, Cockrell will tackle but Jackson will not. Eric Reid is not inconsistent, he is used as a box safety for run support.

[imminent rogaine]

Donte and Boston have both been way more inconsistent. Nice play one series followed up by a huge whiff on the next. Reid has been making plays. I’m very happy with him and cockrell this year. Bradberry has been the definition of consistent - the highs aren’t the splashiest but he rarely blows a play.
