It’s like watching how defenses play in the Pro Bowl. All business decisions.
I don't know how Jaylon explains this miss. Xavier Woods & Byron Jones have the outside contained forcing the WR right into his path for what should have been an easy boom type tackle.
Agreed. I have said it before and I will say it again....we better hear that he has had an injury bothering him all season that will require a procedure this offseason...if not.....extending him will rank high as one of the worst assessments of talent ever for this front office. He repeatedly takes bad angles, jumps out of the way, gets bullied, gives up and is slow to diagnose. Not sure what else is left. And please don't bore me with his tackle numbers....running to the pile after the runner has gained a lot of yards is not impressive.Jaylon never touched him because he took the wrong angle considering his only escape was back across the field
I suspect there is lots of video of bad angles floating around on this team
The most embarrassing play of the season. But hey don't forget to go cast you pro bowl vote for Jaylon.
On the way to work today was listening to the Fan blast the players and they said we missed 14 tackles against the Bears.. Are y’all paying attention yet??? Nobody misses that many tackles in one game. I’ve seen better acting on Wrastling back in the day..
They whiffed on purpose, the team is quietly tanking on purpose but only losing by just a few points to give the illusion of trying to win. Pay attention or go back and watch the tape you will see some half assed missed tackles.. They are doing just enough on offense for stats and agents to have the ammo they need for negotiating new contracts. Anyways it’s really bad and blatantly obvious if u care to notice..
Welcome to Team Tank....
Only 14? That was the just the first half, right?

I concurWell, I thought about it and I've got to agree. Tackling is something learned in pop warner. These guys have been in the game all their lives. If they aren't making tackles, at the professional level in the NFL, it's got to be intentional. Tackling takes effort and it hurts. If they're not wanting to hurt, then they obviously don't care. We're dealing with an entitlement attitude here.

SS Thompson and CB Lewis were terrible. They might not have come close enough to making the tackles for their misses to even be counted as missed tackles.
Sadly the Cowboys are NOT deliberately tanking.That’s kinda the plan when you’re deliberately Tanking Hoss....
This scheme also doesn't help. Playing 10 yards off the ball and having to make wide open field tackles as opposed to playing up on the ball and pressuring is completely different.Lack of effort or lack of talent misses tackles.....I don’t care how tired you are either
