Reared it's ugly head again yesterday. I always said that this was a weakness of this team for the last five years. They gave up over 100 yds after the catch yesterday. If you can't tackle in this league then you are in big trouble. Who in the world is teaching the basics like tackling on this team? I also think it has to do with us being a smallish defense and just being pushed around by bigger stronger bodies.

Re: Missed Tackles
Ellison and Denney were two of the worst offenders when it comes to missed tackles. -

Re: Missed Tackles
that's only because they're on the field more, so they have more opportunities.
If Denney got more playing time, I'm sure he could miss just as many tackles as Schobel and Kelsay.Comment

Re: Missed Tackles
That's been the single-most annoying aspect of this team this entire season for me so far.
We haven't tackled well at all this year.. FOrtunately, up til the Arizona game we were swarming the ball and making plays.
I cant think of a SINGLE big play the defense made yesterday.. No sacks, no big pass breakups.. nothing.Comment

Re: Missed Tackles
It would have been nice if Fewell would have sent the house once in awhile just to break up the Zone that Warner was in all day long. It couldn't have hurt us any worse than what they did anyways. Timely blitzes are what can cause a big play and change momentum of a game instead of a plodding, predictable, zone defense that refuses to change and sits there and lets Warner play "pitch and catch" with everyone but the waterboy all day long.Comment

Re: Missed Tackles
this team hasn't tackled well, collectively, since 1999...and when I look around the league I see a lot of teams like that....players seem dependent on the "big hit" (usually with a part of the helmet) rather than wrapping a guy up and tackling him.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.Comment

Re: Missed Tackles
I though the Bills D last year tackled better than this team. And that was with 2nd, 3rd and 4th string players.Comment
