Minkah can't tackle.

The guy needs to learn how to wrap up a ball carrier.

 

Great ball skills, terrible tackling technique. Tries to make too many tackle up around the pads. His angles to the ball carrier are poor, too.

 

I’m sure another team would gladly have the problems he brings lol

 

But he shore can intercept that football...

 

Worked for Dion Sanders

 

His skills are unbelievable but lowering the shoulder to tackle is just dumb. Too many times he gives up the first down yardage by not wrapping up the ball carrier.

 

The list is getting long


1. Steelers can't win
2. Tomlin can't coach
3. Ben can't throw
4. Fitchner can't put down the Denny's menu
5. Secondary can't cover
6. JuJu can't dance
7. Butler can't change
8. Wrs can't catch
9. Dupree can't win the SB for us
10. Primantis can't serve
11. Conner can't run
12. Snell can't find the hole
13. Williams can't run
14. SDOT can't boycott
15. Fans can't use their tickets
16. Edmunds can't progress
17. Can't be playin 3 games in 12 days
18. Minkah can't tackle
19. Can't be playing the Ravens

We're doomed

 

Here we go...

 

He did hurt his shoulder earlier in the year and they've been using him down in the box for run stops and he tackles well when he run-fits.

His problem is open space against RB's.

 

Same problem Troy had.

 

And

Shazier at times

 

Tell me where I'm wrong then.

 

fundamental tackling is becoming a lost art among secondary players league wide

 

And with the targeting rule, it's hard on a defender.

 

Easy, let the D line or LBers make the tackles.

 

Polamalu would fly up out of control and miss on occasion, but that's not what Fitzpatrick is doing. He is in position, but his technique is just awful and he's not strong enough to overcome it.

 

Most players have their strengths and weaknesses. Open field tackling is not his strength, but he does other things really well. You gotta take the good with the bad for almost every player out there.

 

Ok if you want us to choose our favourites. I am going with #10 and #14

 

Minkah's pros outweigh his cons, at about 10:1.

 

I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Hit real hard, but didn't wrap up!

 

Flying out of control was part of the problem. Everybody would get do excited because he acted like a "wild man" they'd forget that his recklessness caused a missed tackle.

 

It's sacrilege to many on this board when you call it out.

 

Don’t forget @Formerscribe blowing up a bunch of threads saying we can’t beat Ravens or Browns in the playoffs without Haden.
