“We have linebackers this year who will hit and tackle you. We have to be able to stop the run and establish it ourselves.”
Cecil Ratliff
“They beat themselves. We can't tackle. Unless we can tackle someone we care not going to stop the run. We can't keep trading scores with CV if we keep giving up long drives.”
Brent Stroh
“He runs through a lot of tackles. He's a very strong runner. You're not going to arm-tackle him. You'd better be ready to gang-tackle him.”
Barry Alvarez
“He came up and made some nice tackles on the run game and some aggressive hits on the pass game,”
Mike Minter
“We didn't tackle. We know we had to stop the run and we didn't stop it.”
Jeff Holt
“Obviously we didn't tackle. We were not physical and we stopped them only a few times ... long runs, big plays, we didn't get the job done. We got whipped.”
John Thompson
“Last year up there L.T. was one or two arm tackles away from some big runs. If we can get him to that second level (of defenders) there is no better back in the league.”
