Lavonte David has twelve solo tackles through four games

What is wrong with Lavonte David? As JoeBucsFan points out, the Bucs outside linebacker has just twelve solo tackles through four games, put up two today and hasn't been the player we're used to seeing. He's had at least two dropped interceptions this season, including what could have been a game-changing one today, and has yet to make an impact play this season. All of that after signing a five-year, $50 million contract this offseason.

David has topped 100 solo tackles in each of his first three seasons in the league, even last season -- when he missed two games with injury and saw his impact plays decrease dramatically as Lovie Smith's defense leaves him less room for big plays.
