But in a zone coverage where hes forced to play zone he's not all the way there yet. Dosent know how short or how far to drop. Seems like the iq is there just unsure of himself in zone. It's a easy coaching mistake and I've noticed he's gotten progressively better at it as the season has gone on.

He seems understand.sure of how far to drop and where his specific zone is. He is great at tackling in space, but a lot of players caught passes around him in his zone bc he didn't stop deep enough or was to deep. In man to man coverage he is a amazing cover lber.

The object of the defense is to stop the progress by putting the ball carrier on the ground. All of the "wicked hits" in the world don't mean a thing, if you can't break it down and wrap the man up.He's great in the open field at wrapping up and tackling.
