I see a big problem that needs to be addressed, our D backs can't tackle, and don't cover that well either. I know we are young on the back side of the D but these guys have to learn how to make a tackle. Hoping for improvement sooner, not later.

Well, Garnder is supposed to be playing CB. Safety and CB are pretty similar positions for coverage from time to time, but from a tackling standpoint they're completely different. For a CB it's grab and drag down a guy who's made a pass -- an easier job for tackling.

For a safety it's go up and meet running backs who got to the third level, with full-heads of steam.

We'll get the safeties we need next year, and maybe in 2019, but Washington too looked like hot garbage. Harris is sorely, deeply missed.
