Anyone great at anything has mastered fundamentals. Ray starts talking about angles and I can already tell what he's going to say. Any defensive back knows that the sideline is your friend. On that first play, the DB takes the angle on the outside hip instead of the inside hip. That touchdown could have been avoided if he maintained inside leverage.
You can also take notes on Brian Johnson and Patricia/Desai to show what not to do in a football game. As an Eagles fan, I say every week, whatever play you want to call-just call the opposite 😂😂the eagles blitz’d at an historically low % I’m happy they lost. Fire everyone besides the O line coach

All of the guys were taking the play off when it seemed the tackle was already made, but that lack of effort is what lead to the score. IDK if it's a cultural thing, or a fear of late hit penalties that is causing them to lay off. I'd say the NFL needs to pull back on the late hit penalties.

Thank you, Ray Lewis! Awful defense fundamentals. How Matt Patricia keeps getting jobs in the NFL is baffling. TB12 covered his failures in New England with the offense and we all saw what he did in Detroit! Please, more Ray Lewis and Manning types and less Matt Patricias...
You are EXACTLY correct. Matt Patricia was hated in New England, he was despised in Detroit and the locker room in Philly didn't want him near the team.....This guy has the social skills of a plate....he's just not a professional coach at all.

Jimmy Johnson yesterday. Ray Lewis today. Hearing Peyton and Eli talk to each other and former players, it really feels like there’s just something missing from the game today. It’s definitely not the same sport it was even 10 years ago
THE GAMES ARE NOT REAL! how can it be more obvious???? The games are phoney, fake, unreal. They are fixed on purpose. Those tackles were intentionally not made, its that simple.
The game was just more physical and players looked like they cared more. Now it’s all about money, and to be fair the NFL making it practically illegal to touch the QB or land a good hit on a ball carrier doesn’t make it easier.
He’s exactly right. Hardly anyone can tackle properly in the game nowadays. They’re all chasing showreel big hits and stupid ass flex opportunities. Their first and only aim should be 1. minimising the number of yards gained and 2. stripping the ball. The number of times over the weekend I saw guys miss tackles by coming in too straight and fast and then give up big chunks of yards and scores was criminal. WTF are the coaches thinking?
As a UK fan who played and watches rugby - the NFL is a bunch of phenomenal athletes playing a sport that very few of them seem to understand the basics of. Tackling is a problem in rugby on occasion, but in the NFL it's an epidemic. Players don't know to go for thighs, don't know to take momentum out of players, don't team up well, and just rocket around the backfield looking for vulnerable players to hit.
@@koncorde it's not even that , they just dive for the legs and grasp air . Like they are doing something other then trying impede progress . I wonder.
That's what I'm saying. The Eagles had the #1 defense last year and were great at tackling in the open field, then they hired Patricia and he fixed it.
My high school db coach taught me more than my college db coach. When I watch NFL defensive backs that can't turn their head around in man coverage, how to play while running, properly jam or can't break down to properly tackle, I step away from the television so that I can chill.
Same here! My high school coach ran “jam techniques “ over and over and over..then riding the receivers down field with your arm on them so you can feel where they at and turn and look for the ball..if a receiver is running full speed 20 yards down field look back for the ball! He’s not doing a 20 yard comeback or dig or out smh
He's 100% right. This is Pop Warner shit; NFL guys shouldn't be lacking basic fundamentals. Poor tackling (wrap-up), Pursuit angles, and effort. I think scouts and teams get too caught up in speed, size, and testing numbers when sometimes you just need to play the better football players. There were multiple plays like this ^ it was bad.
A lot of coaches wouldn't like him. He's too passionate. His wisdom and passion would take away from the coaches power. It's one of the reasons why rumors spread about Harbaugh and Reed beefing after that SB win. Imagine trying to be a leader in a locker room with a guy like Lewis. Most of these coaches don't have the voice nor the respect of their players to hold a candle to him.
The quality of tackling is so poor at the moment. Need to get some Australian and New Zealand rugby league coaches in to coach tackling technique over the off-season
every game you see a defender over pursue and take out his own guy after the runner cutback. In the open field no less. Just stay home bro, your teammate has that area covered.
I've never seen a collapse like this... and I've never seen a bad team (which we were during the past 2 months) so BLATANTLY completely due to the coaches. Nick, Brian and Matt should ALL be fired before we see another snap of NFL football.
Saw some of the worst coverage and tackling I've seen on nfl level this weekend. Blown coverages and guys not wrapping up ball carriers as if they have never practiced before. Just atrocious quality of play by defenses of every losing team in wild card round which is why there were so many blowouts
The players bargained their way out of practicing their tackling and the overall quality of the game has suffered mightily because of it. At this point, they might as well make the full transition to flag football. The concern over injuries has changed the game beyond recognition, so just go all in with pulling flags and stop all further pretense. Stop putting referees in the impossible position of nonstop player protection. Stop humiliating the integrity of the sport with the most horrendous tackling displays in NFL history. This isn't just confined to the Eagles. Every team is tackling like this.
It makes the game safer for the neck and brain but more dangerous for the legs and it makes it almost unwatcheable to me. Literally a decade ago they actually hit each other, now it's hard to watch. If they actually gave them pads that were more than 2cm long they could probably hit each other harder and it be safer but nope gotta go fast zoom zoom. It sucks, the only thing that's actually gotten better in football recently are kickers.
@@somerandomguy5977 The amount of leg injuries is crazy, I agree it feels like they traded worse but less common head and neck injuries for incredibly frequent leg injuries. I'm not an old head anti-safety kinda person but considering a guy like Ray Lewis is fine, they should bring back his style of play.
As a Baltimore fan, I really wanted to see a close Ravens vs Eagles SuperBowl this year. A lot like the Orioles Vs Phillies World Series of 1983 in which I wasn’t alive during. The I-95 corridor would be freakin nuts. I’ve never seen a team collapse harder than this Philly team. The 2020 Steelers maybe, but that’s it. Both Pennsylvania teams. Oh well, I don’t really care as long as the Ravens really have a shot to sun it all. That’s all that matter man. But I would be lying to myself if I said it wouldn’t of been really cool to see a Ravens vs Eagles SuperBowl this year. It would’ve been awesome, especially in the area I live in. Maybe in the future one day. As for now, and most importantly, Go Ravens.

@cheeseoh seriously? Look at the video again , they purposely let then score , even the worse defense in the league makes an effort , these guys looked like little league in Grammer school, the ones that are forced to play and don't want to ..
This is one reason why Sean Mcdermott has such an amazing defense in Buffalo year after year, even with all their devastating injuries time and time again. You NEVER see the Bills tackling with just one guy unluess they are blowing someone up in the backfield or something. The Bills will swarm you with 2 or 3 guys the moment you touch that ball. It actually almost backfired on them on the Toney play when they all went after Kelce to secure the tackle and Kelce lateraled it out of nowhere. They corral and swarm and hand off.
People keep talking about Ray Lewis as a monster player with a killer instinct but what he is calling for is for them to play as a teams. He was a leader
This is why when you get to the Super Bowl you have to win it and get it over with..as soon as a team do good, other teams are going to take your coordinators..sadly for the eagles they lost both..failing to replace them with high qualified coaches showed and showed big for the eagles along with horrible line backers and secondary
The passion and the killer instinct plus no heart you got today’s football, celebrate each 1st down. Running to end zone on turnovers they are clowns not football players
Thats the Matt Patricia curse. For 7 consecutive years he has trashed every team he has be a part of Patricia bin laden is a football terrorist, not even Urban Meyer's players popped off on him the way Patricia's former players have, with Slay being one of the most vocal during their overlap in Detroit. The problem it's even the same problems. He didn't learn from his mistakes with the Lions. He went to a playoff caliber team (Pats)and said, "Screw all of you end everything you do, we're doing it my way." He doesn't fit his scheme to the players, he forces the players to fit into his "Cunning Ultimate Masterplan". He turned a capable 4-3 into a crap 3-4 with a scheme designed to funnel runners directly into the slow as big as as a truck MLB Tavai. Screw the pass rush and leave the DBs on an island. He changed everything not because he thought it was better, but because he only runs things his way. An absolute failure to even run what he's trying to focus on and everything else, like "passrush and pass coverage" just get left on the table. He asks players to just "adapt" to the holes in his scheme and calls them all stupid for not keeping up with the defensive genius How people even consider him a servicable option at this point is beyond me. But hey the Eagles had 7 years of failure, player testimonials, owner testimonials, and history to reference and still opted to hire Patricia bin Laden. They made their bed, time to enjoy laying in it.
I can see Rays point. But in today's football every good hit from a defender gets a flag so this is what we got. I'm surprised we don't see even more defenders getting hurt doing everything humanly possible to avoid having any helmet contact on a moving target. And if they even look hard at a QB out comes the flags. It's an all offense only league. Yet I do not recall them dropping a flag when an offensive player lowers the helmet and plows for extra yards. Rules should work both ways.
This has nothing to do with big illegal hits. It's about form tackling and taking angles. Form tackling isn't helmet to helmet. Ray never got penalties for illegal hits, even after they made them rules.
I've always said Ray Lewis is one of the best tackling players that ever played, like him or not ( and ive had my share of poking fun at him). He knows what he is talking about the Eagles could not tackle in this game for whatever reason.
That's defensive play in the whole NFL it's disgusting they are afraid to hit and tackle. The rules have screwed up what defense should be and how a tackle should be made.
Nah. That's just bad defense by the Eagles. Stop making excuses. Go watch the 49ers against the Eagles this season to see a high level defensive clinic. Specifically, watch the Lenoir hit on Swift to wake up your marbles.
We had an issue with it on the Ravens just before Roquan Smith showed up. It feels to me like he's reminded the team about how to tackle. His most notable influence was on Patrick Queen who wouldn't wrap up on tackles for two years. Roquan shows up and now Queen is one of the best tackling linebackers in the league.
Yall killed Brady when he said the product is not good but Ray Lewis is pretty much saying the same thing from a defensive perspective. The Eagles secondary was always suspect but they looked like they didn't want to play. We had 6 dropped balls including a Mike Evans bomb td.
Yeah, sad that like 3-4 of the best moments for Eagles fans this game was when Buccs receivers dropped easily catchable bombs that were likely touchdowns/first and goals after completely smoking their defender. Pathetic.
I have been saying exactly what he has been saying for the last half of the season. Their poor tackling is at a whole different level. They teach tackling in pop warner ball 🤦🏼♂️
@@alexha2884 no not tackles but all of sudden OC/DC gone THEY did the same thing when they had the last super team remember Chip Kelly came in and broke that super power up
It happens every week on every team. There's no way that out of 8 billion people, the best of the best are in the league. It's the same reason we see so much nepotism running wild. What are the odds that ONE set of brothers are playing in the league at the same time, let alone 7 or 8 sets....most at the same position. They used to tell kids that the odds of going pro are so long that you shouldn't bank on it, but these kids who don't even understand geometry are getting in the league. Something is WRONG.
As he was saying this, I could've sworn he was speaking about the Seahawks. Season would've been completely different had the D shown up to tackle for most of the games instead of only a few.
I can tell this emotionally and physically hurt Ray Lewis to watch this "bad defense" play.

This is why when you get to the Super Bowl you have to win it and get it over with..as soon as a team do good, other teams are going to take your coordinators..sadly for the eagles they lost both..failing to replace them with high qualified coaches showed and showed big for the eagles along with horrible line backers and secondary
The passion and the killer instinct plus no heart you got today’s football, celebrate each 1st down. Running to end zone on turnovers they are clowns not football players
And they're not tackling everyday, That's not allowed in practice anymore.
Thats the Matt Patricia curse. For 7 consecutive years he has trashed every team he has be a part of
Patricia bin laden is a football terrorist, not even Urban Meyer's players popped off on him the way Patricia's former players have, with Slay being one of the most vocal during their overlap in Detroit.
The problem it's even the same problems. He didn't learn from his mistakes with the Lions.
He went to a playoff caliber team (Pats)and said, "Screw all of you end everything you do, we're doing it my way." He doesn't fit his scheme to the players, he forces the players to fit into his "Cunning Ultimate Masterplan".
He turned a capable 4-3 into a crap 3-4 with a scheme designed to funnel runners directly into the slow as big as as a truck MLB Tavai. Screw the pass rush and leave the DBs on an island. He changed everything not because he thought it was better, but because he only runs things his way.
An absolute failure to even run what he's trying to focus on and everything else, like "passrush and pass coverage" just get left on the table. He asks players to just "adapt" to the holes in his scheme and calls them all stupid for not keeping up with the defensive genius
How people even consider him a servicable option at this point is beyond me. But hey the Eagles had 7 years of failure, player testimonials, owner testimonials, and history to reference and still opted to hire Patricia bin Laden. They made their bed, time to enjoy laying in it.
an embarrassment to the shield
I can see Rays point. But in today's football every good hit from a defender gets a flag so this is what we got. I'm surprised we don't see even more defenders getting hurt doing everything humanly possible to avoid having any helmet contact on a moving target. And if they even look hard at a QB out comes the flags. It's an all offense only league. Yet I do not recall them dropping a flag when an offensive player lowers the helmet and plows for extra yards. Rules should work both ways.
you won't get called for helmet to helmet if you tackle the waste .
This has nothing to do with big illegal hits. It's about form tackling and taking angles. Form tackling isn't helmet to helmet. Ray never got penalties for illegal hits, even after they made them rules.
The Eagles defense playing like they loaded into a Call of Duty match where everyone on a "team" just runs off to boost their own XP.
I've always said Ray Lewis is one of the best tackling players that ever played, like him or not ( and ive had my share of poking fun at him). He knows what he is talking about the Eagles could not tackle in this game for whatever reason.
"This Game"... funny man. Eagles haven't been able to tackle all year.
This is what happens when you don't practice in pads anymore. Tackling in general has been bad for awhile.
This might be why the Eagles' D took a nosedive in the final month and change of the season. The Bucs' D didn't have this issue in this game.
Ray: They playing as individuals out there…
And this is why they lost these past 6 weeks.
0:41- Ray Lewis sitting at his water while ranting about bad defenses 😂😂😂😂😂
😂
That's defensive play in the whole NFL it's disgusting they are afraid to hit and tackle. The rules have screwed up what defense should be and how a tackle should be made.
Nah. That's just bad defense by the Eagles. Stop making excuses. Go watch the 49ers against the Eagles this season to see a high level defensive clinic. Specifically, watch the Lenoir hit on Swift to wake up your marbles.
I watch the Manningcast all the time and Ray Lewis is my absolute favorite guest. Great analysis and explanations. Please bring him on more!
They should always have Lewis on. Peyton hates bad offense. Lewis hates bad defense. It's a match made in heaven.
Ray makes a great point here about trusting your teammates in a team sport. Eagles let morale sink lower and lower with every mis-play.
When Ray Lewis speak about defense. We listen.
There's been an epidemic of nonexistent tackling for years now, and it's always infuriated me, even when it benefits my team.
We had an issue with it on the Ravens just before Roquan Smith showed up. It feels to me like he's reminded the team about how to tackle. His most notable influence was on Patrick Queen who wouldn't wrap up on tackles for two years. Roquan shows up and now Queen is one of the best tackling linebackers in the league.
Most NFL players can't even tackle. They just launch themself at the other guy and pray they knock them over.
He’s not wrong. Fundamentals are gone now.
Man, Ray looked like he could have murdered Bradberry on that one. Of course he would never do something like that.
He's more disgusted by missed tackles than he is about murdering 2 people.
Allegedly
There was no murder
You know the defense is playing horribly when Troy Aikman, a quarterback, is talking about how bad y'all are.
Ray Lewis is personally offended by bad defense.
Poor tackling all over the place and It's playoffs???
Deebo was right all along, Bradbury is trash.
It's the head scratch through his hat that did it for me
Ray Lewis giving off the “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed” dad vibes
Ray... lost your son about a year ago. I hope the Ravens make you proud.
Yall killed Brady when he said the product is not good but Ray Lewis is pretty much saying the same thing from a defensive perspective. The Eagles secondary was always suspect but they looked like they didn't want to play. We had 6 dropped balls including a Mike Evans bomb td.
Yeah, sad that like 3-4 of the best moments for Eagles fans this game was when Buccs receivers dropped easily catchable bombs that were likely touchdowns/first and goals after completely smoking their defender. Pathetic.
The Eagles are a bottom 3 defense, they’re not some good defensive team. If this would happen to the Chiefs, 49ers or Ravens, then it would be valid.
They gave up six months ago and that soft practice…….so disgusted with my Eagles, all the coaching staff should be fired with some of the players
I have been saying exactly what he has been saying for the last half of the season. Their poor tackling is at a whole different level. They teach tackling in pop warner ball 🤦🏼♂️
Not even a eagles fan and can see they were saboteged really don't make any sense to watch any more because games are fixed
Exactly. All these missed tackled in the nfl today are done on purpose. Rigged for shee
@@alexha2884 no not tackles but all of sudden OC/DC gone THEY did the same thing when they had the last super team remember Chip Kelly came in and broke that super power up
Ask Ray Lewis where those bloody clothes at.
Ouch but right?
They are in my basement under my hello kitty cooler
Rent Free
I don’t believe you understand what “ rent free” means
this is what happens when you hire MATT PATRICIA at any coaching job.
They didn’t want to tackle the whole game.
It happens every week on every team. There's no way that out of 8 billion people, the best of the best are in the league. It's the same reason we see so much nepotism running wild. What are the odds that ONE set of brothers are playing in the league at the same time, let alone 7 or 8 sets....most at the same position. They used to tell kids that the odds of going pro are so long that you shouldn't bank on it, but these kids who don't even understand geometry are getting in the league. Something is WRONG.
they should pull that old lombarde film out where he's ranting about everyone grabbing all the time .
“Everyone is playing individual football” that is the most accurate description I’ve ever heard
Ray Lewis would be having these guys run suicides for every missed tackle if he was their DC
You gotta hit all the right angles
When I hear Ray Lewis is disgusted at something, I lock the front door.
Sounds like me talking to my squad in fortnite lol
As he was saying this, I could've sworn he was speaking about the Seahawks. Season would've been completely different had the D shown up to tackle for most of the games instead of only a few.
*_10-1-DONE!_* The Titan Sub didn’t implode as fast as the Eagles! 🤣🤣🤣
Nobody will ever convince me that constantly reducing the amount of contact practices over the years was in any way good for the sport.
That touchdown reminds me of Browns tacklers (Newsome) taking bad angles on purpose so they don’t get hurt.
That is 100% what it was.
i remember when peyton and ray's team would play each other, peyton would audible and ray would counter on defense with his own adjustments
How and why are so many NFL defensive players are so bad at tackling? It’s LITERALLY in the definition of Defense…
Even if the athletes are better, if the fundamentals are worse, or non-existent, the product ultimately suffers.
I've been watching the NFL for 25 years....and one thing I can say with certainty is the tackling has gotten worse.
Modern defense backs must look soooo bad and so sooo soft compared to Ray Lewis day
"That's how it's done!"
-Ray Lewis, watching OJ Simpson's double murder highlights
I’ve never seen a team play this way.
They've been doing this all year. They miss easy tackles over pursuing
Lewis was a great accessory on this broadcast
