    As many of you know I have had a lean towards Sintim for a while. I don't think getting into everything he does right now would be the way to go so I will keep this thread restricted to just something I have had on my chest for a while and need to say.

    Sintim has one issue that is very plain to the eye; he misses tackles when he goes high. Generally he is very good at wrapping up and bringing the man down with a great deal of fanfare. Sintim generally doesn't bang people down, rather he is much more of a fundamentals first type of player in that regard. But, when he ducks his head a bit and goes high on the ball carrier (around the shoulders) he has a tendency to flail and fall off his man.

    I am not saying I like the guy any less, or think this is an issue that will prevent him from being a good player. Everyone has something they do or don't as a player, we all get that. But this is something I have seen more than once over the course of the year. Sintim does do a good job of getting himself back on track quickly if he does find that he misses tackles in this manner; whic to me sayd he is aware of what happened and is attemptin to rectify it. Again this problem only really seems to be when he is going in hgiher than normal, and you can see him doing it as his head dips just a little, and his arms are very wide open. I am only guessing, but maybe he loses track of his target due to the head drop. I believe thi is very coachable, and just one those things he will have to work out to be even more successful. I mean if this is the extent of it, then it would be hard to complain. He ain't Vernon Gholston.

    Con, say it aint sooooooooo, some of the man love beginning to come off?:lol: :lol:


    No player is perfect pro or college, as long as he is aware of it and it can be corrected. Not the same thing if you were going to tell us he is as slow as mud, that can not be corrected.
