Not tackling in training camp

I don't' think it's a coincidence at all. Its just like anything else.. the more you do something, the more comfortable/good you get at it. I can't say it's a bad policy. I believe it does prevent more injuries leading up to the season and every team is on the same learning curve. No advantage/disadvantage for anyone.

Yeh, honestly I doubt no tackling helps too much. They don't get used to it and then they are throwing their bodies around all over the place. Seems like it could fair worse for some. Except the QB, I'd still say hands off on him. But sometimes trying hard to stop injuries can end up causing them. There is such a thing as being too cautious. IMO.

I feel this is something coaches across the NFL should have addressed before it had to be negotiated in the CBA.  I think a good standard practice would be some form of penalty for vicious and unnecessary hits in practice, and no tackling in piles (so open field tackles only, legs can get all sorts of messed up with them hog mollies falling on them).

Over the past few years, possibly since the new CBA, there has been no actual tackling in training camp. 

Since then, tackling in preseason and during the first part of the season has always started out relatively poor. 

 

Coincidence?

Agreed. Much more sloppy play. I've noticed ever since this rule was released a few years ago that the tackling has to kind of build up to the point of being decent/how it was before the rule. The team has to build steam to get up to speed. 

 

I dont nnow the stats but it also seems to me players are injured more easily this way. Especially minor injuries from the lack of conditioning.  I think it would be better to weed those kind of injuries out before preseason.

It would be interesting for see analytical  data showing injuries during training camp and the preseason  for before and after the new CBA that has so greatly reduced contact in practices.  Even if contact injuries may have gone down, it seems like non-contact injuries (which usually involve knee ligaments) have gone up. Don't know that there's any correlation  there but at least overall it doesn't seem like there is a drastic decline in injuries. 

The tackling across the league is generally bad until about week 3 in my opinion.  Given the Panthers early season struggles from 2011 on (Rivera), it's hard to see how more contact and practice tackling in the preseason wouldn't be a positive  thing.

i understand the logic behind this thread, but frankly... other teams dont have a problem starting fast. i dont think we can blame the CBA for the Panthers' slow starts, or every team in the league would suck at tackling and the league would see a whole lot more parity than it does in the first four games of the season...

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
