I'm getting pretty tired of watching Jatavis Brown whiff on tackles, or taking bad angles, or just not being in the right place at the right time. I previously posted a couple of pics from the Seahag game of Brown's miscues, like whiffing on a tackle here:

I thought it might be useful to look back at previous games at his play, and sure enough, I found some issues. For example, vs. the Ravens in week 16, here he is at Mike, playing for the injured Perryman, pre-snap:

Lamar Jackson runs it up the gut. Brown, instead of waiting to tackle Jackson, inexplicably moves up to the line, into the waiting arms of a Raven O-lineman:

A second later, Jackson breaks through a hole and scampers past Brown, now totally blocked out. Jackson gets a first down and a lot more.

Later on, Jackson hits Dixon on a little swing pass (sound familiar?). Derwin, in a rare miss, launches and misses Dixon, who is off-balance. Brown has a perfect angle on him to tackle him, but no. Somehow, Jatavis fails to wrap up, overshoots, hits the turf, and Dixon gets away for more yardage and a first down:
