Shaz’s hit against the Bengals doesn’t work out that way often. Most fumbles occur from an offensive player being loose with the ball or a defensive player selling out the tackle and focusing on ripping the ball out. So I can see how barn’s comment has merit. A focus on form tackling would also cut down the number of times a defender simply goes for the strip.
From the INT side, Ike dropped some…TP dropped some…but that number is inflated in our heads, imo. Those years, the defense got shredded often by short passing games — harder to get interceptions that way. Also, lack of pressure didn’t help.
