I'll give you that the BACKUPS tackle well. The first string didn't play much in the first 2 games.

Our first string played a whole quarter and with the exception of our lb's, the db's looked like crap still. I know it's pre season but this is exactly what pre season is for, to see progress. So far there has not been much progress with our safety's and tackling.

I disagree somewhat; it was the first string defense that totally shut down Tom Brady last week

Again I disagree; the first two games the tackling was better and the DBs were doing a fantastic job...

I thought the starters were limited or out for the first two weeks...

Some played an entire 1/2 in the second game of the preseason.
