[QUOTE="danny daniel, post: 964951, member: 1376"] I have been bothered by the bad tackling for some time and have come to the conclusion that Thacker's defense is based on bend/don't break until we can rip out a fumble. This worked better with Thomas/Eley. This objective requires arm reaching, punching, ripping,, wrestling, grabbing face masks, and with attacking at a higher approach. Too many of our tackles yesterday were from the side or back from the third or fourth player and with unsuccessful tacklers strewn in a trail behind the runner.. Tackling requires hitting and locking up (not catching the runner) Maybe a change in DC will bring about a different concept and lead to better tackling which will go a long way to improving the D. I watched the game at BD and again on TV. The D was as bad as I saw live and I believe the O was worse on TV without any effective run game and failed to get us back in the game with the opportunities we had. The LB play was really bad in coverage, finding the ball, tackling, getting to the outside, and maintaining outside leverage when in that position. The LBs are contributing very little and putting the burden on the DBs coming off coverage to make tackles in space after long gains. Our scheme seems to be gimmic to stop certain things and leave other things in jeopardy. The good experienced coaches know how to adjust and find our holes.. We saw all these things in spades yesterday. [/QUOTE]
