More missed tackles.

[Jeremy Igo]

So, what is the deal with so many missed tackles lately? Hard to blame a coordinator for that. Players practice tackling every single day.

Seems like everyone out there is struggling. 

[PhillyB]

they're out of position every play, that's why they're tackling so poorly. when perrenial pro-bowlers looks lost that's on the coordinator.

[Manna]

I don’t know what it is but players are often out of position 

[Shocker]

Makes no sense.  How we all the sudden can’t wrap up is mind boggling.

[LinvilleGorge]

The Washington experiment hasn't worked and I think the players know it. Everyone is out there trying to do too much individually instead of trusting the scheme. The end result is just awfulness.

[RumHam]

They seem to cut up and fug around in practice

Ron Rivera allows complacency. Promotes an assistant that is in over his head, this unaccountable mentality trickles down to an unmotivated and ill-prepared defense. This team is going to lose to a team that is trying to tank. I can’t see how they can keep anyone on the defensive coaching staff after the Panthers falter down the stretch because of a historically awful defense 

[NAS]

They’re thinking too much out there instead of reacting 

[t96]

Well we never had this problem with many of the same players with McD, so....

It's what happens when you hire the assistant of the assistant of a DC. Players are constantly out of position trying to do too much, which results in more missed tackles. This Eric Washington experiment needs to end sooner than later. He is not cut out for the job.

True

But as they do that in practice everyday.  Why is it not being fixed in practice? Thats on the coaches

 

Why is it not being hammered during the fiom sessions? Thats on the coaches 

 

I refuse to think the guys, who have been on this D and looked Elite in the past just completely forgot how to play.  Like the Monstars took away their ability as they did in spacejam

 

The coaches arent doing their job.  These same guys didnt forget how to tackle or rush the passer under Withers and Mcdermott, hiw all of a sudden soon as a new coach comes in they look liie completely different players

Edit: wrong thread

[mc52beast]

Let’s see

After getting blown out by 30+ points the team was given 4 days off

Coach cancels practice because of weather

 

Maybe the players have lost confidence in the coaches... including Rivera
