Our Tackling Is Terrible

Who the hell is teaching them to tackle

this is why we are 0-2 and are looking bad doing it

Good clip (in terms of quality & showing what happened - not the results )


I would at least give Meriweather credit for effort (but an F for technique). On the flip side - guys like Amerson really piss me off. What the hell is he doing? What is with all of the diving at someone's feet - ridiculous & very lame.

kudos to whoever the big guy was (64) he had to go a long way to get in on that tackle. (if you are looking for a positive)

Good point - sadly. I saw some of the younger guys dive & then appear to just stop after that (might just be perception). I also was at least slightly encouraged to see Orakpo getting pissed off on the sidelines. You would have thought the whole defense would react like this. I hope to at least see some better effort next week.

Its not just in DC guys its all over the league

I blame the New CBA with all the new practice rules etc

If your going to change the rules on contact via tackling they should have allowed some extra time to retrain the players on how to tackle properly

I knew Wilson (26) had to be in this clip. He does this on every play. How is he even on the field playing defense? Kudos for the hustle & effort by Goldsten (64).
