I agree that it was poor tackling from a few, but I saw Cole and Duggan have some broken tackles after flying at their man full tilt. I'll take that, they just need that backup tackler to come finish the job, at the moment they're successfully interrupting clean possession only for there to be no secondary pressure and the opponents run it out. Part and parcel of such an overly tall team.
Other times players do need to slow down to tackle, which they hopefully get from looking at the tape. The bigger the discrepancy in speeds and directions of the tackler and tacklee means the tackle will be harder to lay. The players need to adjust for this sometimes a bit better.
I think that our tackling has been poor for some time now.
