Good Start For the Defense


Sep 26, 2012, 10:44 PM

Have read a lot about what is wrong with the defense etc. I think a good start would be to teach the fundamentals of tackeling. Seems not a single player knows how to inflict damage on an opponent's ball carriers. The D needs to play with an attitude to hurt somebody. What happened to its "nut cutting time"

Tackling isn't the issue. It's getting off blocks and taking the right angles to put yourself in the position to be able to make a tackle.

You make good points but if you don't think tackling is an issue, maybe you missed the game last week

Good angles, etc,etc, but if you don't hit somebody in a punishing way once you get there, what does it matter.

I'll take form tackles all day

over punishing hits. So long as they go down, doesn't matter to me how. Getting them to play to the whistle would be step 1, imo.

punishing hits ? I clearly remember 4 or 5 "punishing"


Sep 27, 2012, 8:06 AM

hits with a shoulder trying to knock a running back down, instead of watching his belt buckle and wrapping up around his knees..... like we were taught at the age of 10-12.

The back gained who knows....15-20 yards or may have even scored.... it was a classic example of what NOT to do.

Going for the big hit rather than tackle

Too often I see players, not just ours but I notice ours more, trying to deliver some sort of knockout punch...BOOM, yeah! Tackling is passe.

Problem is that when you try to deliver that haymaker KO punch, if you don't land it, the counter punch can kill you. Try to lay the wood on a guy, hit him too high and a shoulder turn can negate all your velocity and there's nothing you can do about it since you've left your feet and become a ballistic object.

I didn't get to play a lot of organized football, but I do remember being taught to put my face mask and a shoulder pad into the ball carrier's belly button and wrap up.
