Tackling Technique, Again? Packers, C’mon!

Pre-Season game number two is now also in the books and on tape. The glaring negative takeaway from the first two games is tackling. The Packers missed 24 tackles in the first game (allowing an extra 170+ yds), and followed that performance with another 19 missed tackles. Packer’s Coach Matt LaFleur stated they needed to focus on tackling technique. Tackling? Is this not the NFL? For those of us who played football in the 60’s and 70’s, did we not learn to tackle in Pee-Wee football? Now “these” professional football players of the 2010’s don’t know how to tackle?
