Woodson rips Cowboys D: 'Garbage at tackling'
08:08 AM ET 06.20 | Count Darren Woodson among those unimpressed by some elements of today's game. [Once, a] missed tackle equated to week-long shame Woodson believes no longer exists. At Arizona State, linebackers coach Lovie Smith rode him for any missed tackle. In the NFL, Woodson ensured the Cowboys maintained the same pride. "The guy made the catch but the RAC yards weren't there," Woodson said. ... "[Now, nobody's] embarrassed if they miss a tackle." Maybe there's a curmudgeon, uphill-both-ways undertone in any former player's voice. Butler calls the state of tackling today "embarrassing," adding that Detroit receiver Calvin Johnson could score every week if he wanted. Woodson? The Cowboys "are garbage at tackling," he said. "They won't hit a soul."
