Minkah seems to be the only one out there who can stick a tackle
Why did Miami Dolphins miss so many tackles vs. Panthers? Focus was on forcing fumblesAfter watching the tape, players and coaches wondered if a major reason that the Panthers rushed for 239 yards was defenders' preoccupation with stripping the ball rather than tackling the ballcarrier.“You have guys that are missing tackles because of too many punch-out attempts that we’ve been emphasizing to get more takeaways,” coach Mike McDaniel said.Linebacker Jaelan Phillips said players “had good intentions of trying to get the ball out” but have to remember that bringing the player down is always Job 1. There’s a time and place, and I think what’s more important is getting the guy on the ground,” Phillips said. “That’s just something to continue to work on.”“You’ve just got to know when to make the decision to punch out the ball and when to make a secure tackle,” Fitzpatrick said. “I think we definitely had a couple of guys that made the wrong decision.”https://sports.yahoo.com/article/miami-dolphins-blame-missed-tackles-142114965.htmlWeek 1 the players called a meeting because players were "doing their own thing" out on the field because they didn't understand their role, or didn't stick to it. Minkah's comment at the end suggests this hasn't really changed. What a mess.
