When a defensive player hits a ball carrier and doesn't make the tackle, it's just not any type of scheme change. That's basic football.

Old but Slow wrote:Another example of how statistics can muddy the reality. Barton made a lot of tackles and did not miss tackles, but he led the league in yards given up. His average depth of tackles was around 7 yards. He seemed unable to diagnose well and became a chase linebacker rather than one who meets the ball carrier in the hole. It seems that missed tackles are more often from a head on contact rather than from just losing a grip, so chase backers will not usually miss as many tackles as one who faces up the carrier.
example Cody Barton who seemed away from contact or having a bad attack angle made 130+ tackles while only missing 1 tackle...so it was scheme fit allowing higher depth before contact
