Technical work is needed takes time for young DTs to put that altogether
Agreed. He also just needs reps to help read blocks. Philly abused him on a couple trap plays last week just because he didn’t recognize it at all.

It's hard to admit your 1st round DT isn't too intent upon responding to his assignments -- maybe he wasn't kidding about not liking football? At one point in his career, he'll have to make the adjustments that he seems to be so helpless to make. Might more concern for his job help to fix that?

.. how do you fix the tackling issues?

Get a bunch of duffel bags with numbers on them, throw them up in the air and tackle them.
That's how I learned, tackling sleds and dummies all day long.

After rewatching most of the game, I think Mazi was ok. Not great but ok. He got blown up a couple of times on double team blocks, but I am not sure Hankins would have done any better on those blocks. Mazi has that problem where he is slow getting off and that puts him at a disadvantage. He does try to square up and he is clearly strong but when the OL gets a head start he is fighting momentum, a OL on the move.
Mazi wasnt why we lost, agree. I rewatched it. It was a combo of several things.

A real coach doesn’t sugarcoat that crap sandwich. A real coach lights his guys up and leverages this stinker so his guys are pissing vinegar as they head into the playoffs.

That effort was atrocious and unacceptable.

Starting to see how DQ loses a 28-3 lead in the super bowl. Handing out participation trophies when you should be handing out butt chewings is pretty revealing

Maybe he’s already focused on his new HC gig
AMEN SIR! I agree. Its like the coaches are scared of rich overpriced athletes that control their job security...oh wait....nevermind....

There’s no denying the team is physically soft. It’s time for the coaches to earn their money and toughen these team up and ASAP.
It's hard to believe the same guys that dug in for a tight win vs Seatle, and then dominated a bully team like Philly are soft.

That said they looked real SAWFT against Buffalo.

I suspect some of that is just being light in the britches. We need some run stoppers at DT and especially LB.

We also need to make adjustments when we are getting punked out. Why are we so often slow to make adjustments?

Oh boy, this will upset the Mazi haters and set off another 157 threads.
Mazi this Mazi that....DQ aint gonna call out any player on national level....he will or at least better keep it in house....on a side note.... I really hope Dan Quinn leaves this off season....it's time for change...his Atlanto 2.0 defenses just dont work

They ran a trap play repeatedly, with a pulling tackle all the way across the line ....to get off tackle, wide runs. The pulling tackle raised h3ll with DE, Lb..

Needed penetration from Osa especially to cut that pulling OT path

Let him go and his backwards cap.

That's not how it works. Being tough is about being more talented and tough. You don't "make" players tough(whatever that means) just because you want to. The first step in getting "tougher" is to get physically dominant players.

Damona wasn't doing anything her damn self. Running into the backfield looking lost, whiffing on tackles in the open field, getting burned to a crisp in coverage. I thought this dude was supposed to be a sideline to sideline player? He doesn't look any different from Jaylon Smith
Damone lacks the lateral agility to be a high level player.

I have no idea why or how people don't seem capable of comprehending this.
