Donte is a BALL HAWK

[Eazy-E]

We all knew he was raw coming out but he had incredible athletic talent. You just have to take the good with the bad with Donte and watch him to continue to grow. Plays like this are why he is going to be a good one.

Also yes, I am very drunk.

If he continues this he will be in the HOF

The great part is he is still growing. He is very good and has all the talent to become an all pro as he continues to develop. Even with a few missed tackles and one play where he abandoned his assignment, he had twice as many insane plays that overshadowed it. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for him. Jackson and Bradberry is a tandem I hope we keep for a long time

That second pick was amazing 

[CRA]

I think he will get lots of opportunities to make big plays.  Next week especially.   Watson is a home run/big play QB

He is still very inconsistent.  He defiantly took advantage of two bad throws.  Which is great.   But you gotta think opposing team see him as they guy they can get over Bradberry.

He may be a ballhawk, but it when it comes to tackling he's a parakeet.

The entire secondary could use a reminder or two on the fundamentals of wrapping up and tackling.  I think Reid is pretending to be a bumper car half the time.

Ballhawk yes, but probably the worst tackler on the defense.  I cringe when Donte has to make an open field tackle because more time than not, he's gonna miss it.  Besides the high-thrown smoke screen pass where the WR was a sitting duck and Donte tattooed him, he tackled horribly today.  Two picks will gloss that fact over though.  I'm not sure which is worse a corner with hands of stone or a ballhawking CB that gets brushed aside by the opposing ball carriers.

You want a corner that can make picks. Hands down. Deion Sanders couldn't tackle a Pop Warner kid, but you weren't throwing at him.

Jackson had some nice tackles but yeah, he was inconsistent.

No, but you can run at him. That, or drop a pass short in front of him and gamble on the receiver breaking his attempt at a tackle.

He is a S H I T tackler though...cost them a few first downs....needs to work on it seriously
