[QUOTE="DevilDon, post: 450000, member: 2057"] An excellent article on the decline of tackling in the NFL: [url]http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/tackling-the-issue-in-the-nfl-lh5p210-158997705.html[/url] I think we can all agree the loss of Nick Collins was really bad. It should be. Losing pro bowl players in any level of your defense will cause you to make adjustments based on the personnel available, their experience and talent level. It's why we always say it takes time to judge a draft. I am excited about Davon House obviously, Sam Shields can't be hurt by this offseason here and Tramon Williams was hurt more than alot of us probably knew. OK, I"m going to also mention Bush, they guy keeps sticking around, he one day HAS to become a savvy vet right? I think the Packers, knowing they didn't have the pass rush had resorted to a more gambling type of defense last year and it certainly helped, they got those turn overs but it wasn't enough in the end to completely overcome the rest. Enough 20 plus yarders has got to help you win games. I don't think anybody could have watched the Packers D last year and not understood that the secondary, depleted as it was, really didn't have a chance. I like our secondary, but if it's not bolstered at least somewhat by a better pass rush our D will not be significantly improved. So yes, lots to consider, if the rush gets some pressure, if our secondary players improve (new guys for dime) I think gambling makes more sense, QBs will be a little more excited in the pocket and make a few more mistakes. Turnovers are game changers and with the D in depth a missed tackle can be embarrassing but a defense that crowds to the ball with some better tackling should be enough. Oh, Mike Neal will be a factor in the pass rush this year. I'm predicting it. [/QUOTE]
