Why can't we tackle?

There was a play, I believe in Washington game but may have been week before ? Where Adam Jones was in great position to make tackle on pass play for short gain. He whiffed, lowering head coming in low with the atomic shoulder. Receiver went on to gain another 10, 15 yards I do believe.

It's these kind of ESPN highlight, self serving tackle attempts that are the downfall of this team - no discipline.

There is no I in team, old saying but applies totally here.
