I didn't know that. He was a bit of a legend at OU, for breaking tackles, that's for sure. Heard a guy back then say he was Earl Campbell lite. Just a big, physical RB in a FB's body.

For that matter, Chase is like 6' 2" 210lbs, i think? Higgins is 6' 4" 220.

Name a S in the league as big as Higgins.

Point being, CIN has a lot of big skill players. In an era where most LBs and DBs are getting a little smaller than they were 20 years ago because everyone is trending towards speed and quickness. Well, you're going to give something up in tackling efficiency when those guys face bigger skill players.

Fair. It did seem like it was mostly secondary guys struggling. And Perine does run hard. Noticed him the week before running over people.

They couldn't even tackle Burrow. He's not exactly Lamar out there

Could swear there were that many on a couple series.

That 17 yard run right up the gut on a busted play was so pathetic.

It was really strange yesterday - Bolton (among others) were sitting and waiting for the ballcarrier to come to them to make the tackle rather than coming to the ballcarrier.

It has to have been a fluke game because I've never seen that trait before in him. He's a phenomenal tackler otherwise.

Burrow is another big guy that can run. He's not ever going to be confused with Josh Allen, but the guy can be a little elusive, and he can be tough to bring down. Watch his highlights on YT and there's a lot of would-be tacklers being posterized in those clips.

So, how do other teams look regarding missed tackles against the Bengals? Is this an us problem or is this a team with larger players that do this to everyone?

You knew it just wasn't our day when Burrow took the busted handoff off-guard for 20 yards lol

I especially like the ones there the Chiefs player spins them arounds for the extra five yards. Those make me feel so special...

That was so ****ing Andrew Luck-ish, it isn't even funny.

It was probably the scheme they used and he needed to prioritize potential passing plays. Or he just had a bad game.

I was harping on this yesterday and 14 seems low.

I am so sick of these Spags ball washers and how they attribute any good play to Spags, and poor play to the players. It's FN ridiculous.

Marty emphasized takeaways, and we always were at the top of the league in turnover differential.

Great DCs like Buddy Ryan or Dick LeBeau emphasized tackling, and their defenses were great at tackling.

What does Spags emphasize? Because it sure TF isn't takeaways or tackling.
