When did the Steelers ability to block and tackle diminish?

See my link in the post about the defense going out of business. To me, it starts with the CBA. The players wanted less practice time, thus this is the result. A cram session of the play book and game plan for each practices. They want more money with less work. Hey, who doesn't. But since it was approved a few years ago, the tackling has become poorer for a lot of defenses.

Troy didn't wrap up very well, but the guy did so many other things great. Let me know when one of these guys gets to the qb in a blitz and strips the ball, or splits two oline men on a screen and tackles a RB with one arm like he did in Denver in the AFCCG, or return a pick for the clinching TD in a playoff game, the list goes on and on with Troy.

at this stage, the players should at least have a fundamental concept of tackling.
instead, we see a **** ton of players leading with the shoulder and trying to make a highlight.
