Well said. Often the hard hitter fails to wrap up a guy.
Ronnie Lott was my favorite dynasty era Niner, mostly because he was the hardest hitting SOB that I've ever seen play the game...
when he connected.
Unfortunately his trademark horizontal spearing dive at the ball carrier's belt would occassionally miss and result in an extra 10 yards to the play. Again, I'm a front row Lott fan, but even I'll admit that there were frequently times when the sure tackle would've been preferable to the murderously hard hit.
