The players union won the right to less practice time, there is widespread free agency with 25% annual roster churn; these two items will create ugly football. I'm so old that I remember when holding on a running play was ridiculed; now it's commonplace. The tackling is also pretty poor because no teams have tackling at practice - the number of guys I see throwing an arm or shoulder instead of wrapping their arms is just ridiculous.
