Another win, but......

I'm really concerned about our tackling or lack there of. Seems like they are taking horrible angles, they are tackling too high, and how many times have we seen our guys letting up once they get to the QB in the last three weeks? I've alway felt the Cowboys were a pretty good tackling team, but this year they've look bad alot.

True. Hopefully we can right some of it during the bye. We have certianly been sloppy at times. Both sides of the ball. Penalties, fumbles, tackles, can all be cleaned up and could make a big difference down the stretch.

I tend to agree with you on the tackling,but some games are better than others. One thing you have to remember is that this team,by and large,is a work in progress. The defense gave up 7 points yesterday on one long drive,and seemed to adjust from there. It will get better IMO,as we go along.

Some of the tackling is them going for the strip. Much more than last year's team.

That forced fumble yesterday was a work of art.

Ware's non-sack was the best example of that. I'd much rather see guys wrap up and make the play than go for the strip.

I felt the tackling was a bit improved this week and the penalties were down. Dallas was able to hold Peterson to a season low so while the game was far from perfect it was not a bad outing by the Cowboys.

Hmmmm......I thought it was worse this week (tackling). Penalties were way down this week. If we had the penalties we had againts the Pats, we lose this game.

I did not think it was worse after all Peterson was held to a season low. I agree improvement is still needed but I thought the guys swarmed the ball carrier pretty well in the game for the most part.

You know the old saying about "if" don't you.

If you watch other NFL games, you will note the Cowboys are not the only team who has trouble tackling. It is epidemic in the NFL. More and more players just try to knock you down.
