He is an excellent tackler. Something he doesn't get enough credit for due to his cover skills.
It looked to me like both he & Kirksey slipped (they were basically right next to eachother).That was a big play to me. If you watch the big Barkley run that started the game, Ward had him contained to the outside. Barkley cut back and left Ward grasping at air. I'm pretty sure this was Ward's second shot at Barkley and he was more aggressive.

Oh I know. I was just making an observation.Well, they slipped because Barkley made one heck of a cut. It was really Damerious Randall's tackle to make but again, Barkley made a high speed cut that not everyone is going to make. The Browns defense learned to approach him a little differently after that run. It doesn't make Ward a bad tackler or anything. I meant the post as a compliment that he adjusted so well the next drive.

And yeah, Randall took an AWFUL angle there. That play should haven't gone more than 10 yards at the most.
