    over and over, i've seen steelers DBs trying to make tackles by throwing their body/shoulder at the ball carriers and many time the carriers bounce off and continue to run. Why can't they wrap their arms around them to tackle. Is this what they are taught? Wrapping your arms to tackle is basic football? TJ Watt made many tackles by wrapping his arms on the runner. I've seen this too many times this year.

    I am so dissapointed in Minkah right now, he was either out of position or holding.

    Minkah had a bad game. The tackling overall was very good today though, especially considering the RB they were facing.

    Yep, I was impressed just because of the RB they were facing.

    I wonder if he is over thinking this whole thing. They trade a #1 pick for me. I was a fan favorite last season. Maybe he is trying to be to great. He see's Troy's picture around and wants that for himself.;)

    Minka has had a bad season so far, he needs to screw his brain on and toughen up.

    that 70 yard touchdown got them back into it, make them use 6 or 7 minutes and the game is over

    Tackling has been a league wide problem since the 1990's.
