[QUOTE="7thFloorRA, post: 575883, member: 3717"] I don't think the Packers tackling has been all that bad this year except when Brad Jones is in the game. I would say that these guys don't 100 percent trust their teammates to be in the right place so they don't sell out 100 percent and attack the ball carrier always. That is why I think once they started to gel as a unit with Lattimore they seemed to get better. When Jones came back in the game he was missing tackles because he is terrible at tackling and everything else and other guys were playing hesitant to cover for him and not attacking. Watch how AJ Hawk plays when Lattimore is in vs Jones. He never fully attacks his gap when Jones is in because he is staying home to cover for Jone's ******** up his own assignment. When Lattimore was in he would shoot his gap and make some great run stopping tackles near the LOS and not 5 yards off it. I think the general difference is that the 49ers have some better players but besides that they play a 100 percent sell out and attack style and the packers have more of a bend dont break mentality towards tackling........and that is accentuated when untrusted backups are in the game. I will take their performance vs the bears and Vikings and the 1st half vs the dolphins any day. [/QUOTE]
