I think that may be the problem with the tackling. Gibbs treated these guys with too much kindness in training camp, limiting their time in pads and now we've got guys who don't want to hit. I miss the swarming defense of the past two years, and without that swarm guys are pressing.

Taylor will be alright, he's still got the best speed/size ratio for a safety in the NFL. But he's having to come up in run support too often to compensate for our pourous front 7. No one on our defense is playing well, and I think they've tuned out GW to a degreee. We've got blown assignments, poor tackling, and will somebody get Carlos some stickum!
