Poor tackling and inability to slow the run plague Chargers' defense

SAN DIEGO -- John Pagano, defensive coordinator for the San Diego Chargers, has pointed to his team’s inability to limit explosive plays as the weakness of his defense the past couples seasons.

And once again poor tackling was the glaring weakness in San Diego's 27-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Saturday.

The Chargers gave up five runs of 15 or more yards against Tennessee’s stable of running backs, including a 71-yard touchdown run by DeMarco Murray and a 41-yard scamper for a score by Bishop Sankey.
