I watched two games yesterday featuring non-Dallas teams and dude...what the hell are we DOING?
It seems like other players are faster. Not just footspeed (which they are) but their reaction time. Players get actual jumps on the ball when it's in the air, RBs EXPLODE thru the hole and get going very quickly (like Pollard does), and the safeties giddyup closing on receivers to make the tackle. Which brings me to:
Tackling. Holy Hannah, I'd forgotten what actual hitting to impose your will on other players looked like! I do not know about you guys, but I am sick and tired of seeing guys wearing the star being dragged while holding onto other players and needing 3 and 4 guys to help out to bring a single man down. Someone somewhere is not doing their job, be it the coaches, the players or both. It is bordering on inept and it is shameful. Have some pride! Sack up and hit someone, ferchrissakes!
Do any of you all agree or is it just me?
