I think Tanner Miller had a particularly good game. He was really laying the wood on players. Good job.
That's all I got.

I would rather have him deflect some of those passes then "lay wood"
Exactly, hes slow to see the play develop, but I don't think he has any issues with speed. With more practice and film room time he will start to break up those passes.
So your saying that "laying the wood" has the same effect on the ball carrier or receiver as an arm tackle? I don't understand what your point is I guess. To be hit like a truck after a catch most definitely has an effect on the receiver the next time he gets the ball thrown his way."laying the wood" doesn't count unless you cause a fumble or break up the pass. Otherwise its just another tackle.

So you're saying that an arm tackle and a heavy hit have the same cumulative effect on a player during the course of the game? OKLets ease up on the hyperbole here. The receiver is not being hit by a truck they are being hit by a 201 pound man. These are football players who have been hit hard since they were kids. Unless they are being injured when being hit they are not going to be sheepish going over the middle to catch a pass. Maybe back in the day when you could lead with your helmet this worked but no today.
I thought he made some nice plays, on in particular in the first qtr when he came up and made a tackle in the backfield. Jury's still out for me in terms of how good he will be. Time will tell but I saw improvements from just last week to this week.
