Thought I saw that with Shemar. He can beat his man quickly, he just has trouble finishing the tackle on the QB.
This can be taught up.

As one of the other JN regulars pointed out, upon watching his "highlight" films, you can clearly see that he often allows his body to get out of control and somewhat discombobulated. (think legs still going one way while the torso attempts to change direction)
Spot on Sunset. Needs to reset once he beats his man and put himself in a position to make the tackle.
Trey should really help him with this and his hands.
But Shemar's get off is as quick as it gets and I didn't see him get too many false starts or at least I never heard of it as a negative with him.

That's the key right there. Coaches and players need to help teach him how to get to the QB. The hope is to marry his athletic ability with technique like great pass rushers possess. If he's willing to learn and apply, he could be a gem. If he gets that teaching and just goes out and relies on past muscle memory, or just can't translate, forget it.
It would be awesome if Montgomery can teach Shemar up in this aspect no doubt.
