Of course they were talking about our matchup vs the Cowboys and which team needs the win more.

Trey Wingo said that everyone likes to focus on Cam and blame him, but the other side of the ball is just as much to blame.

Then Tedy Bruschi agreed with Wingo saying it's definitely not all Cam's problems. He said we have all sorts of fundamental problems on defense, and then he brought up tackling and said we we're the worst tackling team in all of the NFL. He also said it's a major problem with Rivera being a former LB, and him saying tackling was our "Nemesis".

Bruschi and Schlereth both took the Cowboys to win -- no surpise.

Yeah, it's pretty bad when your defensive head coach says your biggest nemesis is "tackling". This is football we are talking about. That's like a basketball player's biggest nemesis being "dribbling". Or a soccer player's biggest nemesis being "kicking the ball". Or a cyclists biggest nemesis being "not sure which butt cheek to inject the steriods".

With the new CBA it limits the amount of tackling you can do. How do you improve something you cannot practice?

Tackling is almost entirely all desire. You have to want to tackle. Maybe that is what Rivera is yelling at them over? Be tougher, tackle better, and just maybe cut down the stupid mistakes.

This is what is so frustrating, especially for fans.

You can only stomach so many one-armed flails before you realize that this is exactly the problem - lack of desire, lack of want-to.

There is no excuse for how bad we are at tackling. Regardless of the CBA, these guys have been tackling their whole lives. Their approach to it just screams, "I'm gonna try guys, but if I don't get 'em, oh well!"

there is nothing good to say about the panthers this week. Only the panthers can change that.

dal-ass is a media darling. They are one of the if not the biggest "star" in the league. It's all based on money and these guys make it hand over fist for the league. The panthers are perpetual mediocrity and the only thing positive about the Panthers having to face the Cowboys is if the Panthers could beat the cowboys. And even if they do. Next week will be about the cowboys and who gets a shot at them that week.

just the way it is

Which further explains the general poor tackleing that is going on leuge wide....

Defese is a lost art...

Sad thing is with all the attention and hysteria that concussion data has caused, lack of tackling in practice can easily begin to trickle down to college and High school. Enough parents yell loud enough and school boards will start cutting down practice times. Tackling sleds are a helpful tool but they don't juke or spin.

IMO, most NFL players were good enough in college to get away with those big hits that took the ball carrier down. They never had to learn to tackle properly. I know not every player goes for the hit, and actually tries to tackle. But you see a lot of hits that do not get the runner down. Or the one arm whiff which is just as bad.

Tackling and mistakes are killing us. Fix these two major flaws and we can be competitive. Well... that, and kick Chud in the nuts.

      I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.

      Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
