when it comes to tackling for sure. All these guys can tackle and even Cro is showing it. Peterson today got his nose in there (and the man has done this often) in the backfield. Honey Badger being himself again and one of the best tacklers I have seen in the secondary or anywhere else for that matter on D. I did not see Jefferson out there today but he has been solid as a tackling machine. Today I gladly ate a crow leg, because Bucannon laid some wood and for the first time did show me a little Adrian Wilson. I will only eat a crow leg because I never said he was not a solid pick or not a good safety, just did not see a Wilson mean streak and today I saw it and grinned with a crow leg dangling lol

I'm still always amazed at what a great tackler Mathieu is. His tackle on Witten, stopping him short of the first, changed the momentum of the game in my opinion. They went for it on 4th and failed and we took control.

I think our D overall tackles very well. Teams have to string together a lot of plays all day long. It's just very difficult when you tackle well.

And when you tackle well, a offense has to work for every yard... resulting in turnovers, because in the NFL the margin for error is small and that will get you eventually in forced sustained drives :)

Good call, Jetstream. I was thinking that about Cro as well, he is getting his nose in there. I seem to recall some horrific tackling attempt playing for the Chargers a few years back.

I think we have the least missed tackles statistically in the league. Heard that last week.

I read that as well. Just wish I could remember where.
