Worse tackling team in the NFL. Who is to blame?

[jarhead]

That is a pretty bad stat and shows me these guys are either all bad or we have a problem with coaching and discipline.

I see a problem with discipline,execution, and fundamentals which I put on the coaching

[Guild]

Fundamentals is more on the coaching.

[GSO_Pantherz]

Blame - the players. They suck. If you can't tackle by the time you reach the NFL, you'll never learn.

[Panther53521]

or are the players not taking the coaching. We need to find that out and correct it, from cleaning house with players or coaches and front office.

Several of these missed tackles are due to poor technique. Has nothing to do with lack of speed/athleticism(mostly)

Rivera has said since TC that tackling is an emphasis but its getting worse. That's on the coaching staff.

[CatfanMO]

Lol at Rivera saying tackling was our nemesis. You know you suck when a fundamental of football is our nemesis.

[ckroush]

Coaching, absolutely. I'd love to know what the playeres do in practice besides sit out because they're sore. They're clearly not working on fundamentals.

I think the staff is too soft on these players. There is no toughness. No enthusiasm. They look lethargic and have no intensity. It's as if the players don't take losing seriously.

everyone that isn't Keuchly, Davis, or Nakamura. Everyone else tries to either arm tackle or tackle too high. This has to be McDermott's last year. I think that's obvious

[Brooklyn Bully]

Beason missed the "blow up" hit for a tackle last week. Who was it this week? TD? I know you two think your badasses, but really... just tackle the damn ball carrier ok? It's not asking much.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

missed assignments, blown coverages, and arm tackling.

that's coaching all day.

[DRSundrop]

alot of its on the players but it helps if coaching also puts them in positions to make plays. noone likes days like these but its a little bit of everything and right now, the only thing that will stop the bleeding is a win after the bye week.
