How many yards have we given up from players standing up and trying to yank at the ball vs how many fumbles have we caused doing that??

What a stupid fricking thing to coach. Just bring the man down as fast as possible

Going for the strip instead of the tackle mightve cost us the game today

Diggs’ draft stock dropped a ton today. NFL corners have to be able to tackle. He can’t.

I believe he can, but it’s clear that these players have all been coached to strip first, tackle second

I don't think they adjusted once the offense was cruising. We need stops not strips.

I agree in the red zone, but let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. We've gotten many a turnover by stripping the football. Just know the circumstance is all.

I just don’t think it’s worth it. We routinely give up 10 extra yards going for the strip. We hardly ever cause a fumble doing that. Maybe twice a year

Are you kidding? 15 has been the best tackler on the team this year!

What was really annoying was how many times our defensive front, especially Terrell Lewis failed to wrap up burrow. That’s just pathetic
