I think it could contribute a little bit, but Ive seen a lot of one-on-one straight up couldn't bring the runner down or the dreaded "arm tackle" because our defender wasn't in good position...cravens and wil ive seen this specifically.

Ive seen Bruton straight whiff too a couple times...like dive and miss or dive and then reach out and miss.
