...it's sad he never learned to tackle through all his years of high school and college ball.

Doughty is a very solid tackler. good example w/the Jacobs tackle. I know someone will likely bring up the Gronkowski play, but every db will miss tackles like that v. TEs or other bigger players over the course of a year. Doughty also had a good game in coverage, the PI call on him was bogus IMO, I really hate those calls - a wr can just slow down & get that call. Doughty was penalized for having tight coverage & trying to see the ball.
