Bengals did not tackle in any practices

I live in Cincinnati and the sports news guys were talking about how the Bengals approached the preseason by only tackling in preseason games and not at all during any practices.

Kind of find that odd and surprising at the same time. Is this the norm now? I know the Steelers tackled in practice.

Sorry I couldn't find a link but if I do will post it.

 

Excellent

 

Please find that link. I don't doubt You , but that's really hard to believe.

 

Searching frantically but nothing yet. I know what I heard on the local news though.

 

I believe You....I would just like to read it.

 

That explains how the jets 3rd string QB threw for 400 yds and beat them

 

We one up them by not tackling any runners in practice nor preseason games

 

Good if true, I hope they miss alot of tackles against the Steelers.
I wonder if a 180 pound CB will like tackling a 240 pd rb (Najee LOL) in the third and fourth quarter? I think not.

 

LOL

it explains how they kicked our asses twice last year too!!!

 

exactly - and by naming Bush and Edmunds as starters! They would not be starting for any other teams in the league

 

Najee will be lucky to take 5 clean handoffs, with that sieve of an oline.

 

A 180 lb corner will never have to worry about tackling Najee that's for sure. He has to break 3 tackles just to get back to the line of scrimmage.

 

On my way home from work today in Cincy the sports guys were talking about the no tackling approach to training camp and how the Steelers took the opposite approach and will be slightly at an advantage. They said that Zac Taylor is taking the "No tackle to the ground approach" during training camp as a way of making sure they can be healthy again and peaking at the right time late into the season. One of the sports guys questioned that going into week 1 against the Steelers.

Sorry no link yet but will keep searching.

 

LoL
Link dang it. LoL

 

Believe me I've been searching high and low.

 

Just busting Your balls. LoL....,but if You find one I'm interested.

 

Well the Steelers usually don’t tackle in games either.

 

We can hope .LOL

 

some of you guys, really, do you just hate everything about this team? go root for somebody else. jeeez it gets old. i swear.

 

That's odd...we tackle on practices and not in games. Maybe we need to try their tactics.

 

Post of the day.

 

this is true
very sad, feel for Najeh.

Needed an OLINE last year.....before a ROCK STAR RB....

 

It’s the norm. Rams don’t do it. A lot of the teams with younger coaches don’t do it. Tomlin is old school so he does it.

 

Finally found a little something on this about not tackling to the ground during training camp.

Zac Taylor interview

Talks about it during the second question.

Some other interesting information in here as well.

Maybe the Bungholes will give the Stillers a draft pick for Devin Bush. He doesn’t tackle either and so he should fit right in.
