    Its Meeks' fault. That strip the ball crap is mentally preventing the guys from wrapping up. I remember this from high school. You tackle the guy first. Stripping the ball is a bonus, not the main point.

    NFL players by and large dont wrap up....period.

    Not that I disagree that it is something they lack.

    I don't ever understand not knowing how to tackle. Harris especially - sure he's a hitter, but he's always been a good tackler.

    South Carolina and Oregon appear to know how to tackle, maybe we should hire their coordinators.

    I want to go to his website and ask him WTF 43? Ain't the same guy who played in '07, not close.

    worst tackling I've seen since Fox came in and called them not tough.... and Fox is supposed to be the guy that can teach a dog to tackle

    A lot of teams suffer from poor tackling although the Panthers seem to have taken it to another level. I'm not sure when the trend started where the idea of tackling turned into dropping your shoulder and trying to knock them off their feet.
