Giants’ DC Wink Martindale promises better tackling vs. Seahawks

After saying that he knows the New York Giants’ much-discussed tackling issues against the San Francisco 49ers set off a “wildfire” of criticism, defensive coordinator Wink Martindale on Friday issued a challenge.

“Come out Monday night. Chart them,” Martindale said, promising that he expected to see a better performance against the Seattle Seahawks.

Martindale said that tackling is a “mindset.”

“What it comes down to is they are professional athletes and they’ve got to have that mindset of taking the right angle, stepping toes on toes, and making tackles,” Martindale said.
