Marvin had the defense practicing tackling

Although I make fun, I totally agree. When a coach in the NFL takes a defense and says, "You guys forgot what got you here" and makes them go back to basic drills, how could that not send a msg. We can say the tackling has been atrocious and any good leader would do the same thing. Not saying ML is a good leader, but damn, even he knows this is the only way to fix it. I love this move by ML. Let's just hope he spent more that 15 minutes on sending the msg and made them focus on it all week.
