Title: Wink’s Tackling Clinic
Post by: Ed Vette on September 30, 2023, 10:20:43 AM
Pat Traina quote, "Yup, the missed tackles were definitely a point of emphasis for #newyorkgiants defensive coordinator Wink Martindale and the Giants defense. And the overly confident Martindale, who ran tackling circuits this week to help improve that, believes the tackling WILL be better." (Photo by Chris Pedota - USA TODAY NETWORK)

You think he would have done that in preseason.

Curious why he was characterized as overly confident.

Wink says Tackling will be better. WOW, way to go out on a limb there Mr. DC.
Anybody here think that our Tackling could get worse  Redfaced

I disagree with all of the above comments.  He's not making excuses. He's covering for them, temporarily.

It's what coaches do.  They don't need a "tackling clinic."  It's just his way of having their backs... for now.

They all know what the "penalty" is for not doing their jobs... they LOSE their jobs.
