Someone needs to teach MW how to tackle (1 Viewer)

[NewOrleansFan]

He is a good FS with great range but someone needs to teach him how to attack the runner. Never seen a defensive player escorted a running back to the end zone like that.

He was jogging while Pollard was sprinting down the sideline. Can anyone explain the mind of Marcus Williams?

That play wasn't on Marcus Williams.

It is depressing to watch. Worse than Deion Sanders. It's like he tags along hoping someone else will come along to make the tackle.

It was a crappy play on MW's part, but he does that all the time as the last man, he plays against hte cutback...while he gives up a few extra yards, he didn't (before today) give up the TD...this time he just misjudged dudes speed and his place on the field. Oh well...worse things happened on the field tonight than that.

He was expecting Pollard to cutback, but the angle he took pretty much ensured that Pollard didn't need to.

Yes we all know that, doesn't make the decision any less poor

He was escorting him to Bourbon Street.

Better escort than the Dallas blockers and he is wearing Black and Gold, oh boy, this kid would wear out Mother Theresa's patience

If you want to scapegoat anyone, scapegoat the first one who missed the tackle

Yes, he does it all the time. He needs to see someone about that MN miracle.

I think Granderson let Pollard slip the tackle. Williams came from the opposite side of the field but kind of watched the play unfold instead of aggressively pursuing. Not sure what that was about.

It was bad judgement on the play. In hindsight I understand the logic but being that he was the only player capable of making the play he needs to try to tackle the ball carrier. What he ended up doing was the equivalent of a player getting out of the way of dunk in basketball, sure you don’t get featured on a poster but everyone that watched knows you didn’t really try either.

I actually thought it was comical. He did it earlier in game on a bubble screen to Lamb. He looks so bad when he’s called upon to make open field tackles.

Granderson was held, at least one other player was as well held on that play. No blindside blocks though so it’s all good.
