No threads about our tackling last night?

I thought it pretty much spoke for itself.  You would have thought Martin was Kevin Mack on Tecmo Bowl.

lol was gonna say the same thing...

We didnt tackle well at all... We didnt block well at all either on the other side.

difference between week 1 and 2 of the preseason
Week 1 we owned the trenches
Week 2 we got owned in the trenches.

to be fair we know they dont get to do much live tackling in practice thanks to the new cba...

Zim would've torn them a new ass after last night. The question is, is Guenther's "leadership" like Andy Dalton's? I've not yet seen that trademark fire in Guenther that Zim was known for.

Ya got that right.  He's trying to catch Marvin in the belly department and giving him a helluva run for his money.

The Nigerian Nightmare.  Seems like he ran for a lot of yards against us.

[GreenCornBengal]

Pretty sure this same thing has happened in preseasons of past. Guys underrated Doug Martin a bit too.

Theoretically, it's coachable.

More worrisome is the league's worst pass rush last season looking like...well, like the league's worst pass rushers.

Well, here is a thread about the tackling.

It was indeed, atrocious.  It was like watching this team in 2007 all over again.

It was bad…. I can't count the number of runs i saw the TB backs get bottled up at the LOS but manage to eek out 5 yards because of the failed tackles.

But lets not get off the main topic Fred… Andy sucking it up is the real problem.
