It's only an example because it came at one of the most crucial possible times.
Defenders whiff on tackles pretty often (which amazes me since this is their primary task...).
He's a rookie with a lot of pressure on his shoulders in this spot. He could have won the game... we whiffed.
Know nothing about him but I truly feel bad for him, hope this makes him a better player in the future.

No, the time is important but fundamentals will always be the same for tackling,"keep your head up"!He has been taught that since he started playing football.

I agree on that.

It's just that we see bad to awful tackling technique all the time and this kid is getting ripped for one missed tackle because it came at the worst time possible.

Yes he was beyond bad on that play, but his offense didn't score any points in the first half, his HOF QB had a pretty bad game, under threw balls, had 2 picks (one of those was 100% on Brees), and his Head Coach made bad decisions and lost 2 time outs that could have been useful late in the game.
And by the way, the same kid, Marcus William, had an interception that set the 2nd Saints' TD and put them back in the game.

And I'm not saying you're ripping him, it's just I feel bad for this kid. Yeah he's a pro and gets paid a lot of money and should be able to make this tackle but he's still a 21 years old human being who made a mistake a lot of veteran players do all the time.
