As DC, it's DA's job to put people in the right place, but in the end it's the player's job to make the friggin' play. In the Minnesota game Marcus was right there, with the receiver, in perfect position to make the play and he whiffed. That's a DC's fault? Do you think DA told him to close his eyes and go low (too low)?! I've seen stretches, but that's really thin. I've seen other games, not just that one where frankly it looks like Marcus closes his eyes before impact and has whiffed.
