Tackling, too
Marlon Humphrey said that as he exited the field with Harbaugh on Sunday, the cornerback talked to the coach about the need for the defense to improve tackling. Harbaugh mentioned at his news conference Monday that was a popular topic when he met with his staff earlier in the day.
Harbaugh said that the nature and timing of the games the team’s already played and the Ravens’ injury situation have prevented them from doing fully padded practices. However, it’s clearly something the team needs to work on. Last year, they were one of the worst tackling teams in the league.
