Thanks Slimm. That means a lot coming from you.
Related, I always check my takes against yours. I don't know anyone who has matched the work you put in. If I disagree with you on something, I double and triple-check that view. I did read your previous post on Cunningham (think it's in your UC LB thread), and I can't disagree with much from either of the posts. His tackling is not good, and it needs to get better.
Based on the games I watched, though, Cunningham is in the right place at the right time much more consistently than is Foster. When Foster gets there, it's beautiful. He smacks the ball carrier, and he wraps up. Cunningham fails in both fronts too often. Before the tackle, though, Cunningham is so decisive and physical with blockers, and I don't see that with Foster. I think Foster is good/solid in this area (unlike K. Beckwith), but he either sees it slower or reacts slower than Cunningham (or it could be me missing something).
So, for me, it's a comes down to the question: is it easier to improve Cunningham's tackling than it is to get Foster to read, and fill at a level close to Cunningham? It's weird that Cunningham isn't a better tackler. I agree here, too. But, my initial thought is that Cunningham's tackling will be easier to correct. Your post has me questioning that assessment, but that's how I got there.
