The 2nd tackle was clean as well from a technique standpoint, he was just a tad early. Neither hit should have resulted in the Dolphins being upset. Grant never calls a fair catch, and is extremely dangerous. I don't fault Thomas for making the effort on either play.

As for being a homer, I am guilty I suppose, but I also don't just jump all over our team for any little thing and act like everything is always the Bengals' fault either.

Yep, I thought it could have gone either way initially on the first hit. After replay though, it was a perfect form tackle. Head to the side of the ribs, shoulder pads to the gut, hit lift and drive baby.

On the second one, he actually turns his whole body to the side to avoid any contact with the helmet. Had he timed it perfectly, it would have been a HUGE play.
