    Pretty sure Griffin doesn't have heart.

    You are like a broken record. No matter what is true, you keep repating things that are NOT true. Get over CJ and watch the missed tackles.

    And these are not your every day missed tackles...when he misses it almost always means a first down for the offense. And while people are complaining Horton didn't adjust to the Steelers running the ball down our throats...he blitzed and brought Griff into the hole...whiff. Whiff Whiff!

    To be fair, Griff has played one excellent game this year and in the last couple of games he has been hitting people with authority. However, he is consistent in blowing tackles and you can't do that as a team leader on defense and getting paid like a Pro Bowler.

    When the QB completes 30 passes and you have 27 rushes, several of which go past 10 yards, your free saftey better be the leading tackler. You don't want him to be because that means you're giving up a ton of points...but when you do...the free safety usually gets big tackle stats.

    19 missed tackles is bad for High School!

    Griff has played a lot harder this year, I'll give him that. But he's just not that good of a tackler and that's a major problem when we have no pass rush and no great OLB. If he could stay in Centerfield and knock people out, he'd be fine with this level of play, but unfortunately, we NEED him to make tackles!

    Oh so I'm wrong about CJ? Is that why everyone is blaming the line this year and not Stankey? Sankey is even having less success than CJ did. With an improved o-line from the year before.

    Griffin leads the team in tackles. That means ppl in front of him are not doing their job and he is having to come up a lot and make tackles.

    'la Vagician' is not 'comming up and making tackles' when he moves he misses.
    the vast majority of his 'tackles' are him taking down someone after he gave up a big chunk on a pass or him absorbing a rusher way downfield.


    I wonder what his tackle numbers are when he comes to the line and actually takes down someone that is not beyond the LBers?

    I have no way of even pretending I could answer that, but from watching 33 it appears he has multiple fails for every rare success when he is at the LoS
