The Bengals tackling is still atrocious

[Fan_in_Kettering]

To tackle correctly one must first be in position to do so and the current defensive scheme makes me shake my head. The defensive line stinks badly so one would think the linebackers would play in the gaps more often but unfortunately that’s not the case at all.

Instead, they play five yards behind the line so when runners inevitably break through the line they carry lots of momentum and knock the Bengal linebackers right on their butts or juke sideways so the linebackers can make arm tackles at best.

Have you ever noticed members of the Bengals’ secondary often make tackles against running backs? This is why.
