Eugene Robinson On Bad Tackling Teams: Tackling Is "Want-To"

[Proudiddy]

What does that say about our defense and team?

[Fox007]

Any team with Godfrey on it is going to suffer from terrible tackling.

Doubt him or Haruki NakamorJapanese man could tackle their way out of a wet paper bag.

And good fuging god seeing Beason fail out there makes me sad.

Who the fug is Eugene Robinson

LOL, you can go ahead and leave and save yourself the embarrassment.

It says we got over excited at a good victory against the Saints and took a game off after a short week against the Super Bowl Champions.

I'm not concerned. You'll see exactly how much our players "want to" against Atlanta.

Yea you're a Newbie

Nakamura sure doesn't want to tackle.

He's a stick in the backfield always late to tackle.

I think it is bigger than that.

Again, numerous huddlers have said how lackluster Rivera's camps are and how he rarely rips players for mistakes.

Both Jordan Gross and Rivera laughed in their pressers, like this was just run of the mill, par for the course, completely expected, etc.

Just seems like there isn't a lot of "want to" or passion in general. Just another day at the office.

Beason's miss in the first half was one of the worse attempts at tackling I've ever seen. I'm not even sure what he was doing. It looked like he chest bumped Brown then bounced off. Wasn't stiff armed or anything, just bounced off. Didn't look like he tried to wrap up either.

Eugene should focus on what he is good at, asking undercover cops for $40 blowjobs.

[YoMoney]

Our players don't even attempt to tackle, even the FIRST guy to make he hit. They have this sick obsession of trying to strip the fugging ball instead of wrapping up.

The thing that was insightful, and I think that explains why Rivera wasn't as pissed off as one would expect him to be, in his presser was how he said how this game was like a little brother getting slapped around by their big brother. I think we might have gone in with the expectation of losing against the Super Bowl champs and as such, didn't feel as bad about getting our asses handed to us afterwards.

Beason and Godfrey were whiffing against the Saints too....

D hasn't played well at all this year. Godfrey made a nice play in a vacuum. Look at what Beason and Godfrey did last week outside their INTs.....they both consistatly are playing weak.

Don't even know what Nakamura is on the field....he makes Godfrey look like a decent option
