Linebackers are clearly our biggest weakness on defense

Fullwood doesn't like to tackle, that much from yesterdays game is clear as mountain spring water.  Keep him off the two deep until he learns how to tackle.

Agree.

 

Keep him in the returning game, maybe give him a shot at WR.

 

our best corner ever didn't like to tackle. in fact most shut down corners don't. deion sanders hated to tackle.

 

 

Revisionist History 101.  Mike Jenkins loved to tackle and laid wood at nearly every occasion.  Did he not wrap up sometimes? Sure, but that was the exception not the rule.  Did he catch serious flack in Dallas for not laying the wood (Derrick Ward?), yeah, he did.  But with USF, the kid would stick his helmet in there nearly every time.  Fullwood is No-wood (sorry bausfkid, had to borrow), watch the game.

 

Facts always stand in the way of a good argument.

 

 

How many more Venus de Milo attempts at tackling did Fulwood have on Saturday?

 

Difference:  Jenkins was a shut down corner.  Fullwood is playing safety...they are EXPECTED to hit hard.

 

 

Maybe I posted out of context but my comment had nothing to do with Jenkins. Had several posters earlier in thread dumping on Fullwood about tackling who obviously didn't look at the whole game. He had a rough first quarter tackling but appeared fine after that, with 5 total tackles and a pass defensed in the endzone, with no whiffs that I saw. And as far as expected to hit hard as a safety, go to 9:46 of the highlights below ...

 

 

Bull94 injected Jenkins, looks like.  I just wanted to note that there is a clear differences in CBs v safeties.

 

I'm a Fullwood fan.  I think he typically hits hard, but I also like him on offense/ST
