Floyd drops into zone coverage and does an excellent job to read the QB’s eyes and positions himself to make a play, but suffers a pretty bad drop on the interception attempt.

He has a tendency to take bad angles to the ball. Some of that is because he likes to dodge blocks, making his path to the ball carrier not a direct one.

Floyd does an excellent job tracking the ball carrier (Henry) down the sideline, and then finishes strong with the tackle.

Floyd fights through a block and gets to the QB, but jumps to try to block the pass and missed out on the sack as a result.

Excellent hand usage here to keep himself clean, gets around the edge and picks up a strip-sack.
