Mike Mckenzie Cut

I may get called down for this but every since MM came back our tackling has gotten sloppy. I can't say it's his fault, but every one tries to bump the ball carrier down instead of wrapping up the ball carrier. I've never like the way he tackled and it seems to have rubbed off on the team. I like MM and wish him well, he was just a little older and slower this time around.

You won't get called down from me. Other than the New England game, he was a non-factor. The tackling, or the lack thereof, was horrendous in the Tampa game. He gave it a good effort in his time back with the Saints, but it just wasn't good enough.

i'm glad i'm not the only one who noticed that. i mentioned this in another post, more than ready for people to start yelling at me, but, surpriseingly, i didnt get the backlash i expected. (to be honest i was kinda hoping and inviting some, but, oh well)

I'm right with you on this one. Tackling was poor and he's too slow anymore to be a cover guy...especially since he STILL likes to bite on double moves!

Good Luck Mike! That was a hell of a swan song you had against the Pats!
