Bowen said he wasn't satisfied with the tackling and also talked about hitting in practice. I will have more thoughts from Bowen in the coordinator article tomorrow:
With a thin roster it is a slippery slope. How many lives snaps do you take? Are you playing physical enough during camp and at the same time make sure and not get injuries with a thin roster.
You try to simulate tackling in drill situations in a safe manner using crash pads and different things. The reality of it is no matter what tackle you put in a drill situation it is never the same as a scenario that shows up in a game.
