Shawntae Spencer Might Need To Re-Learn How To Tackle

For a corner, tackling is all heart and fearlessness. Those slim or light in the [ site decorum ] guys have issues because they don’t consider themselves strong or sturdy. This results in half hearted ankle tackle attempts. I personally don’t respect many players that don’t hit the weight room hard. These guys think of themselves as “specialists” instead of all around football players. Spencer isn’t aggressive or “spunky” at all. He’s been taught how to tackle but doesnt tackle well out of pure fear.
The reason I think Reavis is the best corner is because he has the best combination of coverage and tackling skills.

It takes a certain mentality to wanna hit a Peyton Hillis in full stride. Most corners nowadays lack that courage.

As far as great tackling corners, Antoine Winfield and Nate Clements are some of the best. They both came from that famed Ohio State secondary program.

he’s light, thin, and our whole secondary had whiffs all over last year. Donatell better have that high on his list.

then they’ll have to get new guys. That heart required doesnt just show up 6 years into the players’ career. Either you have it or you don’t…it cant be taught. Culliver and adams seem to have that feistyness. I can see those two eventually becoming full time starters. Brown, spencer, james, and brock arent too interested in tackling.

Holcomb could be starting by ’12

I say no to NA in FA. We can get the second & third best DB in FA. That will help our secondary a lot. That way we can let the two weakest DB’s that we have go.

Would have guessed his tackle number would have been higher.
