Is it just the missed tackles?
Is it being in the wrong place?
I know he had 18 missed tackles last year, according to PFR, but he never had more than 10 any year prior.
In most years, Pratt and Wilson have had about the same number of missed tackles.
I figured with the addition of Burks plus Wilson and Pratt, starting LBs were pretty set this year, and they would only add a mid-round or late-round LB who can act as depth for this year before Pratt departs in FA next offseason.
The addition of two LBs in the first four rounds indicates the problem with Pratt is far worse than (I) expected.
Listen to how he speaks to Ossai after the loss in the AFC Ship in KC. Pretty sure that's a big part of the problem. If I was Ossai, Pratt and myself would have had a serious "talk" once we "hit" the locker room.
They probably would like to trade him, but it takes two to tango, and the rest of the league knows this. Most teams will just patiently wait for his release.
