I wasn't looking at stats when I wrote that post, just going from memory. They don't really keep stats for blown coverages or missed assignments because there's no way to really tell who was responsible for what on any given play.

That said, there were numerous articles written on the subject. For example...

This is a reddit post listing 9 touchdowns given up while Anthony was in coverage.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Saints/comm...e_anthony_has/

This is a film study that credits Anthony for his tackles but calls him out on his poor coverage and ability to diagnose plays at the line.

This is an article that lists strengths and weaknesses of the linebackers last year.

This is a comparison of Anthony vs. a lower draft pick, Paul Dawson.

This is a list of the first round draft picks from 2015 and the grades given by PFF

This is PFFs overall grade for Anthony from 2015. He received a poor ranking and was the second lowest score given to any Saints defensive player.

There are quite a few more articles that talk about Anthony's success with 112 tackles but also mention his poor coverage.
