fundementals of tackling

[idaho]

I cannot remember the last game where I saw so many missed tackles. It was laughable when goodman was trying to tackle fitgerald. He looked like a girl falling at his feet hoping fitzgerald would step on him and fall down. Then there was Crocker. A sample of the news articles about Crocker:

On the Cardinals next series, Warner lofted a 15-yard pass to the 6-foot-4 Fitzgerald, who outjumped the 5-foot-10 Allen for the catch. He then eluded Allen, and when Crocker whiffed he romped 75 yards, the first time in Dolphins history that two passes for 75 yards or more were completed in the same game.

I am afriad that this team is lacking in the fundementals of football specifically tackling. This team really looks like it was poorly coached. I am willing to give Sprano some time but my eyes were really opened today that we have have a coach who is not as disciplined on the fundementals as we were led to believe.

We all saw it, dude. Crocker can't cover and can't tackle. Now on the other hand, we know Jason Allen is fast and can at least tackle people.

WHY is Crocker playing, again?

 

[MichaelBusiness]

Coaches lack of knowledge of personnel?

J. Allen sucking in practice? Not understanding plays ?

crocker met parcells on a gay bar and now there dating
parcells promised crocker he would start
other than that

Why is it that every year the Dolphins can't tackle and they make stupid penalties no matter who is coaching them or what players come here? Its like this team is cursed.

good point about the tackling... Fundamental football...

J Allen can hit and is athletic so I don't really know why he is being kept out... Sparano at some point will have to answer for some questionable decisions... Ginn, Wilford on the sidelines no question he will have to experiment with his personnel a little more.

The NFL is about better players and schemes in that order. The players are making the mistakes. It is the same players that made the mistakes last year.

Ya, the secondary looks the same as last year... freaking horrible...

this game reminded me of the pats game last year when they lit us up....

A big problem is our Safeties. They give no support to the corners and they SUCK at tackling!!! Their support against run has also been horrible because of the crappy tackling. We desperately need better safeties.

Then they need to get rid of them.
