I never played organized football, so I want to learn about the action called the "tackle" because "just not tackling well" seems to be the most popular answer coaches have for "why did we lose?"

Is it a lack of effort?

Lack of concentration?

Lack of skill?

Many times I see replays of "missed tackles" and I'm thinking, " he was lucky to get a hand on him, much less wrap his arms around him and drive him with his shoulder."

When is a tackle "missed" v. the guy w/ the ball is just quicker, stronger, or faster?

Appreciate your comments in advance.
