Not So Fast

I just watched the half time show and there were two runs by a couple of teams where the runner had at least three or four broken tackles. I've noticed that in college games also, do they not teach basic's any more or is it the runners are stronger, faster now?? Butkus is spinning in his grave, oh yeah, he's still above ground, how about Ray Nitschke, is he still going? Anyway the tackling is piss poor IMO. NSF

We were thinking the same thing.
Is it the gloves everyone is wearing now? Can't get a grip?
The type of material the uniforms are now made of?
Are the rushers that much better too?
Maybe all of it.
