I was watching the last Redskins Super Bowl the other day on DVD, and one thing that I noticed was that the defense (Redskins defense) did a lot better job of tackling. They were taking the time to wrap the player up and throw him to the ground instead of trying to launch himself at the running as some kind of human missile. The game was still very much exciting without the major collision! I don't know if it was somewhere along the line, these players, having the "me" attitudes and trying to make a name for themselves, decided that they needed to step up the entertainment value by going for bigger hits instead of using fundamentals.
