If a defensive coordinator needs to teach tackling then something is WRONG!!!!  That should be fundamental.  It was painfully obvious that Meeks scheme had players in position to make plays for stops and losses.  The only thing is that requires TACKLING!!!!!!!  Which he must have forgot to tell them about.  lol.  Even in the first half when the D was doing really well they still had tackling issues and in the second half those became full blown problems.  I do believe the focus needs to be on D more but I do not think it is scheme more so execution.  Getting a DT and Harris back will help some of this and tackling drills for pros it seems will hopefully help the rest.

I'd say that if we can have a defense like the one that played the first half of the game, then crown Ron Meeks or whoever decided to start blitzing because it worked and it worked well.

I'm not sure who was responsible for the lack of aggression in defensive playcalling in the second half, but that's the person who should be fired (this stinks of Foxy trying to sit on a lead and shorten the game).

One word...tackling, tackling, tackling. Did ya'll see Godfrey lose his shoes on that cut back? I felt bad for him, his kids are gonna get picked on at school today-haha. Did you see Captain bouncing off runners like he was trying NOT to tackle them? The only one playing with heart out there right now is Thomas Davis. Beason lowers his shoulder too but he is trying to do too much and it's stressing him out-not good for a second year vet. I think our D was mystified by the scoreboard last night because they were looking up the whole night instead of hitting and tackling.
