the kid was playing some good ball, but good god he look horrible today.
 
Playoffs expose inexperience.

I've already made a thread based on emotion about Lippett that I regret, but the playoffs expose undisciplined, , or players that can't tackle. We've seen all 3 from the Dolphins today.

Heartbreaking, but i hope a wake up call for both the coach and players on how far away we really are from being a competitive playoff team. We had a magical season, let's all hope next season is even more magical.
 
He will be ok. They asked alot of him.
Vance will be gone and Lippett will learn from a hopefully better DC
The defenses lack of decipline and poor scheme is all on Vance
 
After the catch he looks like Deion Sanders; can't make a tackle to save his life and like Deion he seems uninterested in tackling anybody. Unfortunetly for us, while the ball's in the air, he's no Deion.
 
It's one thing to look good against the Jets and pick off two. Different story against Brady and Roethlisberger. He's raw, hopefully he pans out.
 
He made huge strides from a coverage standpoint this season.

But he has some serious poor form as a tackler. Would like to see him put in some work in that weight room this offseason and learn better technique.

I'm hopeful though . . . he was always at minimum a 2 year project. Seeing the progress should have people excited for his potential in 2017.
 
He like most players on this defense need to either learn how to tackle or be replaced. So many missed tackles with guys getting run over and dragged today it was disgraceful.
 
He's a guy who can cover (at least he's improved here), but can't tackle. That just may be who he is. Let's see if he improves next year.
 
He's green. That's all.

We really needed Maxwell for this game.
 
You mean the guy that played WR his entire life isn't the best tackler? Color me shocked

Entire life?

He was a quarterback and a cornerback in high school for 3 years.

He was a cornerback as a freshman in college. Including redshirt, that is 2 years as a CB in college.

He was a WR for his final 3 years of college.

He was a CB his first 2 years in the NFL.

Hardly his entire life.
 
Well.... from what I've witnessed over the past few seasons, about half the league can't tackle worth a damn!
