Default Nate Kaeding's Pathetic Non-Attempts at Tackling

Nate Kaeding COULD have taken an angle or atleast made an attempt to throw his body at the kick returner on both of those long runs. Instead, he jogged in slowly as if he didn't even wanna try to make a tackle, then after he got juked, he barely even made an effort to run after the guy.

Poor hussle and lack of heart displayed. I think that is why he blows it in clutch situations.

I'm sure you all disagree though, as usual.

He broke his leg last year making a tackle so he might be a little gun shy. That said, I recall him being in on at least one tackle last night.

But it shouldn't even get to him - if it does, that means 10 other guys didn't do their job.

I dunno if you meant to post in blue/green or w/e, but I don't want to see our only FG kicker tackling people. He shouldn't have to make a tackle, and there was one time he did tackle at the 50 under a large pile. Not something I wanna see from our FG kicker who is something like 47/48 from within 50 yards.

Thats what I said when people were pointing it out to me on the replay. He didn't even try, but he did learn his lesson the hard way.

he's just a kicker, I have seen kickers look much worse in coverage that kaeding has.

Yeah, it could be worse.

We could have a Grammatica brother on our team.
