I understand that it's preseason.
I understand that they're not game-planning for these games like they do in the regular season.
I understand that they are playing vanilla schemes.
What I don't understand is why, year after year, these defensive players continue to launch themselves at the ball-carrier at full speed like they are ***** torpedoes instead of wrapping their guy up.
If there is anything that gets my blood boiling more than anything else, it's poor tackling and over-pursuit. And it was on full display last night. I genuinely, emphatically do not understand how this team can be so bad at something so ***** basic year after year. The coaches should be having aneurysms over this. Instead, it's always the same listless response. "We gotta do a better job." No shit. Maybe actually ***** do it this year.

Everything in this post is my fault.
