Yep. Tackling is paramount. GW and Payton addressed the strip technique thing that they coached up after an earlier mid-season game that allowed +150 on the ground. I can't stand poor fundamentals, especially at this level. I watched 3rd-and-longs converted on us all season because of poor tackling. I saw Osama grab a guy by the back of his pants with one hand, and give up another 12 yards while trying to tomahawk the ball loose with the other hand. It was sickening! He looked like a bronco buster with his hand still caught in the rope. Hit-wrap-and-roll should be a pre-requisite for making the squad. I think three-and-outs are the only turnovers we REALLY need!
