oldmanfan Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Saints lose in the last play because a DB lowers his head and throws a shoulder instead of actually tackling a guy. One thing I liked about our D: the DBs played good fundamental football. Wrapped up on guys. 6
mjt328 Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Agreed. I get so tired of these cornerbacks tackling like that. If I saw a player on my team tackling like that, I would cut him immediately. 2
GunnerBill Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Shocking shocking play. If he just tackles him the clock expires.
Ennjay Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Same thing on a lot of Fournette runs. There's a difference between hitting and tackling. 1

MAJBobby Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Happens more than it should because the rules have FORCED DBs to adjust their TGTs lower to avoid head
RiotAct Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 Just watched the play. Holy crap, was the safety (who inexplicably ducked like he was trying to dodge a bullet on the streets of New Orleans or something) trying to go for the INT there? Talk about a brain fart... 1
apuszczalowski Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 I think it was more of move to prevent hitting him early and taking a PI penalty. The timing of the hit was off. 1
Coach Tuesday Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 The amazing thing is the Saints have been tackling like that for YEARS. It transcended be Rob Ryan era and continues to this day. It boggles my mind. 1

Worst defensive play to end a game...ever. Edited January 15, 2018 by billsfan714

The timing of the hit was off. This is the truth. But whatever let's do whatever we can to take away from a team that destroyed us, made it further in the playoffs and lost on a fluke play to point out some conceived positive. The whole basis of the thread is just whacked in my opinion

He lowered his head to the point where he could not have even seen the guy he was trying to hit. He missed him by a mile.
Doc Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 That wasn't just a lack of fundamentals, that was a lack of anything resembling football.
frostbitmic Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 It looked like a Stephon Gilmore attempted tackle. 5
