Why no negative talk re: Jeff Okudah’s bad tackling skills?


Apr 24, 2020, 2:35 PM

All you hear about is AJ Terrell and Tee Higgins having bad last games.

Did no one see Amari Rodgers absolutely truck Okuda on our winning drive?

Amari shed Okudah like he wasn’t even there and gained 20 more yards.

Will Okudah not have to tackle anyone in the NFL?

Is he truly a bad tackler or are you basing that on one play?

Definitely not the first DB that Amari has shrugged off.

Also, Deion Sanders couldn't tackle worth a lick and he's still one of the best to ever play the position. How far down the list of most important CB traits do you have to go before you get to tackling?

The critics base pre-draft Terrell opinions on two of plays.

Now, the draft position when he was actually chosen was about right, but pre-draft most of what you heard about was negativity because of his problems in the LSU game.

^ 14 other teams & players had trouble with LSU..

7 teams were ranked in top 10, not including Clemson.

why no talk about how they (Buckeyes) have never beaten Clemson? They havent even beaten the coots.

NFL draft guru's always remember their few great picks and never all the bad ones. To me AJ is a great DB. Guys have off games. Deshaun has had a couple rough games. Trevor have a rough first 4 games this year and nobody questions how great those guys are. To me DB is the toughest position to play and if you truly break AJ's film down he is a stud. 95% of the time he is in the opposing receiver's hip pocket. I can't remember AJ not being able to tackle so not sure where that is coming from. Is guys gonna miss a few tackles or have a guy run over them, absolutely. The other guys train and work to. I'd take AJ on my team every day and twice on Sunday. If you want a TRUE breakdown of AJ see Chris Simms. Simms love's AJ and thought he was the 2nd best CB in this draft. I'm telling you now, AJ is going to be a Pro Bowler sooner than later. He'll be a day 1 starter guaranteed.
