More Banjo: Week 2 @ Atlanta

[Maxie the Taxi]

Did anybody else notice that our tackling in general was pretty weak?

It seemed to me there was a lot of tackling-by-means-of-a-rolling-block going on. Our guys were slamming into people, hitting them high, bouncing off, not wrapping up. I'd love to know how many yards the Atlanta RB's and receivers made after contact. Stubby/Dom need to work on some fundamentals of tackling.

Maybe it's just a shortened training camp with less contact that is the cause and things will get better after a few games. But Atlanta seemed to tackle better than we did.

It's been just like that it seems to me (and generally) since way back in the early 2000's.
