The tackling last year was atrocious.  Doesn't do any good to have the best DC with the best plan to get the players in position to stop a play if they don't put the effort into tackling.

Don't know what needs to be done about that, but scheme was not our only problem on defense last year.

Agree fred.....it was very ugly.

I don't have the answer either.....but maybe being spurned over and over gives them a little extra push to better themselves.  It was pretty eye opening to me when Marvin said the first thing he delved into when he took over as DC was the lack of effort.  Obviously Marvin was always close to the vest and would never say that as HC, but the fact that he laid it out there in his interview made it ironclad.
