Where the fuck is the tackling?

Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[BuckTilIDie6]

clearly missed a block in the back there.

 

[utgrad73]

you got to be kidding me. this is pathetic

 

[scooter1369]

Great tackling bucks

 

[Drubuck]

Does Purdue have an elite offense? Our D looks dazed and confused out there. Completely lost.

 

[Onebuckfan]

Moeller looks bad missing tackles...

 

[TooTall]

Showing ZERO discipline in the tackling department.

Really have to start thinking about moving Bryant to the star and putting Orhian Johnson in. Moeller is a great guy but it's getting old seeing him dive at guys' legs and then they continue to run and pick up first downs.

 

[Bill Lucas]

Tacking and angles...wow.

 

[scarletmike]

Why in the hell can we not tackle!? Should have had him at least twice before we finally got him down.

EDIT: Someone might get the idea the tackling isn't too good reading the last several posts.

 

[GeorgiaBuck2]

How the hell did we beat Wisconsin?

I am so thoroughly perplexed and frustrated with the defense right now. Getting abused.

This is becoming a pattern, though. The corners continuously play too far off the receivers and essentially give up 5-8 yards. They tackle poorly (along with the linebackers) and take bad angles. We don't have a pass rush. The linebackers also take bad angles and don't swarm the ball. Moeller just looks so slow out there. And, we aren't creating turnovers at the pace we have in the past. The D just isn't opportunistic.

It's bizarre though, because at times (the first halves against Nebraska and Wisconsin, for instance), the D looks incredible. But it's clear that there is a template for abusing this year's defense.

I'm glad I don't have software that writes my vocalizations or I might be taking a two week break.

 

[scarletngray]

Absolutely pathetic tackling... ALL GAME LONG

Let's get it together Defense

:osu:

I hate to say this but Moeller is not getting it done. He has missed two tackles this drive alone that have resulted in two huge plays.
