Message: [QUOTE="CbusCuse, post: 5404348, member: 507"] Duce was playing CB his freshman year, which timing wise often has a lot more tackles where a player gets the ball and your instantly there to make the tackle. He can still tackle well in those situations. He now plays safety which often requires more tackles being made in the open field. When you have someone coming directly at you and running with speed, its a lot harder to tackle when you have to slow down, mirror their moves and then tackle them. You often can't run through them without leaving your feet and a lunge is usually required. That is a different type of tackle all together and much harder. Players are going to miss a lot more tackles in those types of situations. He's still a solid player and getting better as he gets more and more experience at safety. [/QUOTE]
