Miami only had 2 missed tackles the whole game.

I thought this was pretty impressive, even though they lost.
Makes it even more impressive with no 4 game pre season.

What I found most impressive about Jones is that his tackle total came in just 34 Snaps (53% of totals defensive snaps)..

Jones was in on a tackle every 3.4 snaps!

Impressive for him individually, but I really prefer if guys are tackled by linemen/LBs on run plays.

That's how good our d linemen were blocked. They weren't even in on most tackles to miss them.

flores' defense got styled on. awesome to see though that 6 yards beyond the LOS when we made first contact with the ball carrier we were able to get him down.

And our offense completed a pass over 10 yards twice all game

Expect him to be benched then

I don’t know if this is good or bad. So it means our guys weren’t touching ball carriers until they were through the LOS?

That's pretty much how it went for the most part

If I'm not mistaken, it's not a "missed tackle" , if the lineman is engaged with a blocker at the time of contact.

That's why you don't see a lot of missed tackles charged against interior D-line players.

300 yards rushing with zero missed tackles next week?

Just means our guys were out of place. No where near to make an attempt at a tackle. Very mis-leading stat for this particular game.

I wouldn't say misleading.

It's just that it's more of a stat that points to the competence of individuals, rather than that of the team as a whole.

You gotta give credit to the plan. NE tied up the DL effectively to get to the second level. Watching NE grab shoulders and turn DL ( I know it happens all the time but NE takes everything to the edge and beyond) . The tackling stats are encouraging though.
