08:08 AM ET 06.20 | Count Darren Woodson among those unimpressed by some elements of today's game. [Once, a] missed tackle equated to week-long shame Woodson believes no longer exists. At Arizona State, linebackers coach Lovie Smith rode him for any missed tackle. In the NFL, Woodson ensured the Cowboys maintained the same pride. "The guy made the catch but the RAC yards weren't there," Woodson said. ... "[Now, nobody's] embarrassed if they miss a tackle." Maybe there's a curmudgeon, uphill-both-ways undertone in any former player's voice. Butler calls the state of tackling today "embarrassing," adding that Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson could score every week if he wanted. Woodson? The Cowboys "are garbage at tackling," he said. "They won't hit a soul."

I still think of Revis taking on Tebow in Denver last season. Pretty sad when you can't bring down a quarterback. Even worse when you don't even try.

Lovie Smith ripped into a player about poor tackling? Is this the same Lovie that does not even practice or teach proper tackling technics to his players?

Dallas has had issues on defense, tackling is one of them, they lost a Couple of Games last year on Clock Management and Poor Coaching! You gotta believe in your Coach, it doesn't help when he starts giving away games, the players might feel that it kinda doesnt want you to make that tackle! Accountability is a two way Street!!!

Well we have hope for Rob Ryan's defense but to be honest I'm not sold on anyone coming out of that gene pool. Seems there are some missing or misaligned chromosomes in that family.

Rob and Rex jumped in the gene pool and splashed it dry.

Any hard hit nowadays to separate the receiver and the ball results in a penalty, fine and or suspension, could that be the reason for poor tackling?
