Leonard (IND)….. 5 (4.0%)*
Gerry (PHI)………. 14 (15.2%)
Vigil (CIN)………... 21 (15.9%)
David (TAM)……... 10 (7.5%)
Schobert (CLE)…. 16 (10.7%)
Kuechly (CAR)... 10 (6.5%)
Davis (NO)……….. 5 (4.3%)
Smith (CHI)……... 4 (3.8%)*
*played less than 16 games in 2019: Leonard played 13 games, Smith played 12.
Vigil lead the league in missed tackles according to Pro Football Reference and for a LB I think that is a fairly important stat. He was also followed by the Bengal's Shawn Williams with 20 (14.9%), and Jesse Bates also made the top 10 with 17 (14.5%). It seems some of the Bengals defense has a bit of a tackling problem.

Yeah, the entire Defense needs to get better at tackling. That was sad last year.
BTW, bring in Schobert. Mixon has been pushing for him.
