In this case the defender should have used better near foot placement to the blockers near hip, inside shoulder impact to blockers outside pec, and he keeps outside contain...👍 Exactly, gotta keep that outside shoulder clean.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,134 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 One other thing I forgot to mention by tracking the inside hip and keeping your eyes on the inside hip instead of watching shoulders/head you are not distracted with upper body fakes. The runner is going where his hips go. Runner fakes with upper body to left and you bite even for split second and you are beaten. Years ago in HS football they used to tell us to keep an eye on runners Belly button same principal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,397 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I can see this leading to a lot of missed arm tackles for younger players.  You’ve really got to time this.  Leading with head in front - at least the runner is more likely to trip over you if you don’t wrap. as @bigbird said ... it’s gonna be a process with decades of teaching to change.  I’m all for reduced head injuries.  No telling how many I had.

In fact we've seen a decrease. I think that's due to harping on being in the right position (both body and field) to attack the ball as opposed to reacting to the ball. Players are now having to focus more on arriving properly than just arriving. Players hear about and recognize the dangers and are all for self preservation.

SumterAubie 3,031 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 This teaching will move the youngsters away from the 'kill shot' hero line of thinking to a more fundamental method of hitting and wrapping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very informative. One additional thing I think they could do, is return to bigger shoulder pads. THe ones they use today are amazingly small. I think that influences guys to avoid shoulder tackles, especially on bigger RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH they need to get rid of helmets & pads all together a la rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
