Tale of the Tape From NFL Divisional Playoffs | Bleacher Report
The Patriots produce an inside running lane for Blount here because of their ability to turn out Mathis and wash the second level linebackers past the hole. That gives Blount an opportunity to make one cut and get vertically up the field. Because this run breaks, LaRon Landry has to make an open-field tackle. However, look at the angle that the Colts safety takes to the ball-carrier. Instead of playing with some depth on his entry versus the run and creating a downhill angle, Landry gets caught too close to the line of scrimmage. That forces him to take a flat angle to the ball.
