He tackles well but he doesn't seem to track the ball very well. Part of it could be due to his counterparts being very good but I think some of it is how he plays.808vikingsfan wrote: I counted 2 bad plays, maybe 3. Are we being a little too hard on Waynes?

Agreed. He also was going up against 2nd-third-string guys so keep that in perspective.S197 wrote:He tackles well but he doesn't seem to track the ball very well. Part of it could be due to his counterparts being very good but I think some of it is how he plays.
I think so. If the guy gets a 15 yard pass caught on him everyone gripes about it. They have to throw at 1 of our two corners every time and its not going to be Rhodes so we should expect that will happen from time to time. The kid isn't playing bad this year. I just feel like everyone puts Rhodes up on a pedestal and tries to match Waynes up to him and thats just not realistic808vikingsfan wrote: I counted 2 bad plays, maybe 3.

He does seem to play the WR more than the ball. But he's usually in good position so it does put pressure on the QB to make a perfect pass. Still, I think he's a strength to this defense more than a liability.S197 wrote: He tackles well but he doesn't seem to track the ball very well.

That's awesome, to see the fans getting into the game like that. Would love to go to a game yet this year. *crosses fingers*
