Has anybody but me noticed that this team isn't tackling .
Think of all the plays today where we had Stewart in the grasp
Behind the line of scrimmage and he still gained 8 yards.
That went on all today. We have 5guys on him and not one
Grabbing the legs. Half of the time they blew the whistle and
He still wasn't down.
I mean look at these last 6 games and look at the terrible
Tackling . We start tackling we will win some games.
GO HAWKS

Agreed, seems like we are always going for the forced fumbles instead of limiting their yards. The result is that we are just giving them a ton of easy first downs which is how the Panthers had so many 80 yard scoring Touchdown drives today.

I think if we make every yard a true struggle (instead of giving them so many extra yards every drive with bad tackling) the turnovers will come naturally as the opposing offenses will be trying to force it and really push their skills to the limit to even get a first down.

Right now we are handing out first downs like their candy, I agree the tackling must improve. We shouldn't be allowing teams to effortlessly convert no matter how bad their situation is like the 2nd and 19 Carolina had today.
