[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 568785, member: 1989"] I certainly agree that tackling fundamentals are key. But, two plays in particular highlight what I was referring to in my previous post: 1. Play #1: 3rd down (3rd quarter, I think). Read-option with Lynch running to Wilson's right. Perry on contain to Wilson's left. Perry completely bites on the fake hand-off and heads in towards the middle of the pack leaving Wilson free to easily scramble for the first down. 2. Play #2: Similar play. Read-option with Lynch, however this time the ball is handed off and Wilson takes off in the opposite direction while acting like a runner. Matthews pulls up his rush just as he gets to Wilson and they barely contact each other. In play #1, Perry lost contain. He missed an excellent opportunity to catch Wilson in the backfield for a loss, end the series and, by the way, have an opportunity to hit the QB hard. Had he done this, next time, Wilson might not act like a runner so much... In play #2, Matthews missed an excellent opportunity to make Wilson pay for acting like he had the ball. If he looks like a runner, tackle him. Do you think the Seattle defenders would have pulled up on Rodgers if he was acting like a runner? No way. They would have drilled him. So, it's not just fundamentals of tackling. It's also playing the scheme correctly and making the hits when presented with the opportunity. That is, had Perry not fallen for the read-option trick, he would have been in a position to attempt a tackle. But, as it was, he never even made the attempt. One would think that, after all the read-option embarrassments the Packers have faced these last few years, the coaches AND the players would have figured how to improve a bit. But, they keep falling for the pull-the-rabbit-out-of-a-hat trick. McCarthy's emphasis on Seattle seemed to have not made a difference. [/QUOTE]
