Daniels maybe a little frustrated

[Guiness]

Mike Daniels figures since the team isn't very good at wrapping up and tackling, they should just punch people in the throat instead.

Packers’ Mike Daniels: We need to punch people in their throats

Oh, and he complements DeAndre Levy for the solid helmet to helmet tackle, on Jordy I think.

Think he might be a bit frustrated?

I like Mike.

Short for his job, but strong and extra violent with his hands.

Never quits, great snap to whistle drive.

He isn't wrong. Great defenses toe the line. We don't even see the line. You must play with a reckless abandon, but when your coach doesn't let you hit anyone in practice like....ever, its hard to flip that switch on gameday. You play like you practice, thats not a cliche, its a fact.

They don't hit in practice. When some guys miss tackles in games I see posts on any number of forums that the home team needs to have more tackling practice. How about some tackling practice bc they don't do it. There is no tackling practice in the NFL.

Some fans think so bc of their own football background, but at the NFL level it ain't done,

I've read articles about this & I don't know why it's even brought up. Well, I have a notion. the other day, McCarthy mentioned that the Pack would have more tackling practice. That's a joke. they don't do it. They do run thru's so defenders are in position to make a tackle, but with pads or minimum contact.

There are many reasons for this and it's evolved over the years:

- Most players are basically hurt and are saving their health for Sunday

- Likewise, the CBA limits in season contact so there is only a couple practices that have even todays limited contact

- It's assumed that all players at this level know how to tackle as a basic skill. the drill is to learn the schemes and games plan so those players know how to be in position to hit somebody.

The drills that would teach the basics (Oklahoma's, bull in the ring, that kind of shit) are only run once or a couple times in camp. I know it drives football purists nuts, but there is very little contact in NFL practices. I hear everybody pissing and moaning about "our training staff" being responsible for the incidence of injuries on the team. Can you imagine the freakin' cry that would go up if our top people were hurt in practice?

I know fans don't wanna hear it, but NFL practices have very limited to no contact in 'em.

It's interesting how bad tackling is in the NFL. These guys are supposed to be experts in their field and should already know how to tackle, but they don't. A real world example would be teaching a nurse how to start an IV, or a programmer how to program. They are supposed to be experts in their field and already know how to do those basic (to them) tasks. An NFL defender that doesn't know how to breakdown and tackle is an embarrassment that can't even do the most basic of football techniques.

My new favorite defensive player

Make him the DC, player coach

You make perfect sense.

Once upon a time you 'only' Redshirted your QB.

So now they save $$$$ on that with no Red Shirt and NO hits.

Innovative? Nope...unrealistic.

Your body needs hits and you need to be hit to be game ready.

Now ...that's in the NHL NOT the NFL.

The climate in the NFL is somehow different. NFL players in general and as a whole need more protection.

You don't hit your own.

I swear it appears sometimes that our DB's want to breakdance or have some discussion before someone asserts himself with a tackle attempt.

What would Vince Lombardi say?

Some teams take it to the extreme and others push the envelope. We are definitely on the pussified side of things.
