Tackles don't tell the whole story. From what I've seen, he's made a lot of simple tackles, has made one good play in pass coverage this season (it was yesterday), and just cannot get the man when he's alone.
Just my perspective though. I still have faith in his because he does bring some athleticism, and I don't think it's horrible to have him out there by any means.
You don't remember his 4 TFL this year? He's been hit and miss, but has made a lot of solid plays this year and he will always rack up the tackles.
Like 3WT said, its all about getting off blocks with him; that's it. If he's in space, he's usually on point, but when he's engaged, he can't get off and when he does, he's late to the tackle and misses it.
