He's also very poor at understanding leverage, which gets him out of position. He should improve at that with time. He has obvious speed to go with good size and physicality, so I'm hopeful for his future, but right now he plays like a kid who got by on being a better athlete than everyone else in college and needs to work on playing solid assignment football.
The tackles CTB misses are really tough chances. He’s really aggressive and good at reading runs early and coming out of coverage to make a play. That leads to some missed tackles, but at the same time, it still affects the play. Can’t remember the game, but he missed one that looked horrible, but he was full tilt downhill…still made the guy cut inside and got swallowed by traffic. He’s a lot better at getting off receivers blocks than a lot of boundary guys.
Also, he has gotten missed a few times but he’s been in position almost every time. Those ball skills will come.
This year is a complete positive from him. He’s still getting comfortable in the secondary. We should be much more worried that Dax hasn’t made his way into any type of rotation.
