Can someone please teach the Steelers players how to tackle?

I'm not even a big Steelers fan (although I like the PA teams to be in the playoffs because it keeps things interesting) but God almighty is it frustrating watching the Pittsburgh D. Their defensive backs do all kinds of arm tackling, running by the ball carrier and trying to pull them backward as the runner breaks free etc. Whatever happened to the defenders putting their shoulder into the running backs chest and driving him into the turf?

How dare you make a Steelers thread on a Penn State board.

I doubt an Eagles thread would do much better!

So true our D is not a typical Steelers D this year. We may beat Cincinnati but with Manning back in Denver it will be a major challenge. We need some better linebackers.
