That’s a huge part of what he gets paid to do, correct?

Not a huge part. No one in their right mind is signing mDJax-- or most any 5'11 cover corner -- to tackle. It's not to be a tackler. There's a reason OCs scheme for the free man to be the corner on outside runs.

It's more that he's shown the same inconsistent technique and whiffing for years. I don't think anyone would question his willingness.

No I totally get it. I just think it's such a weak thing to bitch abt. It's frustrating, and I'm sure coaches have tried to fix it, but he's a good play otherwise and I promise you this is not an issue exclusive to him. At least it's a corner back and not a starting LB like some teams field.

You guys are crazy. Tackling is the most important requirement of the position second only to coverage. 

Yes.

And if you are an nfl coach are you going to take your time, you staffs time, and Donte's time on the clock really drilling in the nuances of tackling and trying to hit the root of the cause of why he proceeds to treat himself like a human missile. 

Or are you going to take all those people's time getting him down to the nuances of the scheme, coverges and his responsibilities in an entirely new defensive scheme all while coming off of a major injury?

Like if you're not a D-lineman/Edgerusher your only jobs are to tackle and cover. This is akin to getting mad 8-12 years ago when LBs were only kinda okay at covering.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
