Jai Eugene has to be better. He has always been a solid tackler but he is generally out of place in coverage.
Hatcher was likely going to be the starter before the injury but Eugene was the guy right behind him for most of the fall.
Eugene broke up the pass in the end zone on third down which would've been a game winning TD. He should get as much credit as Francois for saving the game. Again, I only saw the second half of the replay on TV, but I saw him make a few other plays out there too. He's ahead of Taylor at this point. I really don't like what I see from Taylor in coverage. It seems he's good at making tackles 9 yards from the LOS, but can't be an impact safety in the mold of a LaRon Landry or Sean Taylor.
If Taylor doesn't blow you up, he isn't tackling you. He tries to put the big hit on everyone, and rarely succeeds. I saw him miss more tackles this past weekend than any other Tiger.
My issue with taylor, other than getting burnt, is he cant tackle. he always goes should first with no arms.
