Well I noticed in some highlight videos Raji missed a few tackles as well. But he doesn't absolutely get run by, he hits the RB and knocks him back about 5 yards and then one of his linebackers always finish him off. So really it is better for him to do that because he makes the RB lose more yards haha.
I'm not worried about him missing tackles, I don't think anyone will get by him when they come into a collision.
And is a NT really expected to make open field tackles?

He don't NEED to make no friggin' open field tackle, anymore than AL Harris needs a spleen.
I don't remember if it was you that posted the video, gopack, but someone did.
Raji was penetrating, but was being blocked on the outside. The running back was in the backfield, getting ready to make his downfield cut. Raji was out of the play...no way is he getting to that running back.
Raji went to plan B.
He THREW---yes THREW--- the offensive lineman at the running back, one-armed (think Reggie-White-like-here) causing the offensive lineman to tackle the running back for him.
Lazy shit. LOL
Edit-- I found another one where he used the o lineman:
