Bad job by Mark Jones to call for a fair catch on the previous drive. Terrible job by Panthers interior OL of adjusting to basic stunting... The hard part of a gunner making the tackle is not the tackle. Tackling a guy standing still, like he did right there, is one of the easiest plays in football. The hard part is beating the blockers down the field.
That's right, boss. I haven't watched a game since Super Bowl 38. I shall now go hang my head in shame.
Well I think it's a combination... Beating the guys downfield usually requires that at some point you sprint as fast as you can... And making a tackle, whether or not the ball-carrier is moving, is extremely difficult when you're running at full speed. Especially if the blocker is still around to chip you if you slow down, cut or break-down...
that pick by Rolle ends the game, IMO. I don't see Carolina coming back now. That was their chance to get back in the game.
