Now you see why the Chargers are not interested in re-signing him...Can't tackle.

Watched him on last two plays vs Vikings...On punt return he stood there and let the guy run right by him and on Peterson's run, showed very poor technique attempting to tackle.

I wish they would have somehow traded him for Cam Chancellor but I couldn't see Seattle being that stupid.
Weddle = Ole = Touchdown Peterson

Weddle was a tackling machine for years. He still gets a pretty good number of tackles. Just not as many as he used to. He's still pretty good at pass coverage, too. Again, not as good as he used to be, but at that age not many people are.
If he's not trying as hard as he used to it may be because he is trying to NOT get hurt. With some older players they shy away from contact and don't play like they did when they were younger.

Agree 100%, he used to be one of the best in the league.

More than anything, I wish he would shave that God awful beard.

Weddell can't tackle and Flowers can't cover or even stay on his feet! What a bad defensive backfield this is overall!

All I know is that when he was on Utah, and they played us he was a very good player and usually hit us very hard, and made great plays. Wished he had been an Aztec!
