There's a nice article about the Vikes tackling problems on the Purple Page:

Is he saying that he has a bunch of Lazzy slappys out there right now?

"I think we played eight games," Vikings coach Dennis Green said. "We didn't all
of a sudden figure out that we can't tackle. We have had a lot of bad tackling
the last two games. So we'll work on tackling Wednesday. But we won't work on
tackling assuming that we have had eight games of bad tackling, because we
didn't."

Huh? Cripes I wonder why the players lack direction and discipline.

It would certainly appear so. Judging by their performances, especially
the last two games, I would say that he's right. No heart. No desire
to make a tackle.

I think your exactly right. No desire/heart to make a tackle.

I swear O. Thomas was doing a Vinny Testeverde immitation last week.

Yeah, I said that same thing a few posts back about the OT/Vinny
connection. Embarrassing. But, if what Mothman is reporting is true,
then OT is being replaced by T. Carter and is riding the pine this game.
I certainly hope so.

How could a bunch of NFL players forget about fundamentals?

Either that or afraid to hit in fear of getting hurt.
