NFL tackling question

Tacking is terrible at all levels of football.

It’s not taught well and certainly not covered in practice well.

Thanks. That's a big part of my frustration in watching the NFL. So many things are a function of luck and beyond a team's control, but tackling fundamentals should be automatic.

Chris Godwin bounced right off of Taylor yesterday.

Taylor never even attempted to use his arms on that play. Godwin was kind of in a traffic jam with one of his own players and another Saints player when Taylor came in and just lowered his shoulder into Godwin, which ironically forced Godwin to the outside of the original two players and gavin him a clean path to the endzone.

Taylor realizing that his superman shoulder had no effect on Godwin attempted to make chase but the collision while propelling Godwin forward totally killed Taylors forward momentum and there was no way he could catch up.

That play last year would have ended with Taylor being on the bench.

Doesn't seem like our back 7 like to use their arms. If they hit them with a shoulder or dive at the runner and the runner does not fall down, they are done. Lattimore seems to try to avoid it when he can. Our safeties(the ones that played) are just too slow and always out of position.
