It's Mother's Day. It's not a day for bickering. And certainly not a day to emphasize the tough, physical nature of the NFL.
But when the Eagles drafted Nate Allen with the 37th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, some fans groaned because of his tackling ability.
The team captain and second-team All-Big East honoree started 39 straight games, racked up 224 tackles and snared nine interceptions.
For whatever reason, though, there's this label that his tackling leaves something to be desired. General manager Howie Roseman certainly doesn't get it.
