Coaching Issues With Skalski Tackling Form


Dec 11, 2017, 10:27 AM

Urban Meyer in this video explains rugby tackling which is the most effective way to tackle and avoid leading with the head. Since Skalski is a veteran player and has done this multiple times, it appears he is not being taught the correct way to tackle.https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rugby+tackling+meyer

Obviously, this is a safety issue and Ryan Shazier was paralyzed when he made an almost identical tackle while playing for Pittsburg.

Not pretty much that is exactly what he did but even Meyer has it wrong. He is in the right position and has the right form, but he needs his head up! You have to lift your head up to see what you are doing.

Most people think the targeting rule is to protect the ballcarrier from a concussion or some other head or neck injury. But actually history has taught us the person that gets hurt more times than not with that type of tackling is the defensive player. More than a few players have ended up in a wheelchair with a spinal cord injury thanks to bad form and making contact first with the crown of the helmet.

But the fact remains Fields spun into the hit. Fields hit himself hurt doing something dumb.

When you watch film on Fields he does that a lot. It’s not a spin move to break a tackle, he does it to take a hit. He does it every time he rushes for a TD if he thinks he is going to get hit crossing the goal line.

A lot of running QB’s started doing this a few years ago. Evidently they think it’s a better way to take a hit, but it’s not because it exposes the spine and kidneys.

At first I thought they were doing it for ball security but then I noticed they did not typically hold the ball tighter to their body or wrap it up with both hands. So it’s not about ball security.

Evidently somebody started doing it a few years ago and other quarterbacks started doing it because as we know these kids love to copy each other.

Let’s be honest. If Fields isn’t on the ground hurt the booth doesn’t review that hit and call targeting.

That being said, Skalski needs to start getting his head up. Interestingly on the ACC network Mark Herzelik (sp) say he thinks Skalski can’t get his head up because of that dumb old school rigid neck wrap on his shoulder pads. He said the helmet hits it and prevents you from lifting your head up. I’m pretty sure that’s what they were originally designed for. Keep your head from being pushed back. They were real popular back in the 70s and 80s when I played football. But I never used one I thought they were stupid.

Re: Coaching Issues With Skalski Tackling Form


Jan 7, 2021, 7:33 AM

every kid in the country is taught the proper way toform tackle from pee wee football all the way to the pros. They work on it every single day. You are not going to make a lot of friends, or a valid point by accusing our staff of teaching improper technique. They should already know better before thy even step foot on a college campus.

and anyone blaming this on Fields spinning at the last minute needs to just let it go. Skalski admitted what he did was wrong. He put himself in harms way by lowering his head. that is why the rule is there, to protect the person making the hit. Friday would have been a reel bummer had he been taken off on a cart.

Not saying that Skalski was taught to lead with his head. Am saying that he wasn't taught emphatically enough to avoid leading with his head. Someone as experienced as him shouldn't have this problem with multiple violations.

Re: Was Shaun Wade coached at Ohio State?


Jan 8, 2021, 4:33 PM [ in reply to Was Shaun Wade coached at Ohio State? ]

Wade was going for the shoulder and Lawrence ducked into the tackle.(Still a violation under the rules but debatable whether it should be) Wade hasn't been ejected twice like Skalski who simply put his head into Fields without Fields ducking into it. Skalski was trying to tackle Fields with his head and Wade on the other hand was trying to tackle Lawrence in the shoulder area.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So targeting, leading with the crown of the helmet is not OK,


Jan 8, 2021, 5:04 PM

unless your guy is doing it. Gotcha. It’s ok to go for the shoulder or even the head (if the player ducks into it) but not OK to tackle the body? It’s OK to lead with the head if you’re aiming for the shoulder? If Lawrence doesn’t duck where does he get hit? The rib cage? Your stance on targeting is completely contradictory. I guess if we go back and do a film study we will never see Wade lead with his head to tackle? Yeah right. Just admit you have lost your argument and you have a double standard. Move on dude.

Re: So targeting, leading with the crown of the helmet is not OK,


Jan 8, 2021, 10:16 PM

A major point of the rule is to protect the tackling player. One should never tackle head first because it risks paralysis as happened to Ryan Shazier who made almost exactly the same tackle. Skalski was improperly using his head from the very beginning -- Wade was aiming for shoulder to shoulder and TL ducked into it causing their heads to snag and collide. Wade was not leading with his head.

Re: So targeting, leading with the crown of the helmet is not OK,


Jan 8, 2021, 11:50 PM

I have been mostly going by memory on Shaun Wade. Reviewed it more closely now. TL did duck very low, but Wade still had time to avoid the head to head. Wade was under coached on this play. He only has one violation compared to at least 2 for Skalski that I am aware of. Admit mistake with respect to Wade.

Saying Trevor “ducked very low” as if he somehow contributed to how he was targeted is as stupid as saying a girl asked to be sexually assaulted because of the way she dressed.

I can only pray you work at Zaxby’s. I don’t eat there.

Great teaching video from Urban...


Jan 7, 2021, 9:23 AM

but I'll add that coaching isn't the issue with Skalski...I very seriously doubt anyone teaches that tackling style and leading with the helmet has happened to every team and it happens many times a game that doesn't get called. Like others have said, its basically holding...you cant call it every play and save it for the obvious ones.

I do have one comment on the rugby tackle, its confusing to me that its a new concept of sorts. When I played high school in the late 90s, we were taught to tackle the exact same way rugby way Urban is teaching. The late 90s brought about the spread and high powered offenses as people set to mimic Hal Mumme and similar offenses...the game got pretty spread out and all I remember is tackling just like he described.

Seems odd but those tackling techniques dont seem to be anything innovative. Besides, anyone thats played more than 5 plays on defense can tell you its nearly impossible to 'fit' a guy up straight on tackling...those scenarios just dont happen much and that is the most likely way to get run over unless you are much stronger than the ball carrier.

Good video, but not exactly innovative.

Yes, you did beat us on your fifth try. Congratulations, you are Queen for a Day. We will be back next year, I have a feeling that, if you are forced to play a whole season next year, you will not.

Urban is a piece of work. I’m a little embarrassed for you posting this drivel here knowing what a slimeball Urban is. You see what you want to see with no objectivity, clearly, but under what commendable or admirable leadership does a head coach allow Percy Harvin to beat a coach within an inch of his life, but cover it up with no repercussions? What kind of leadership covers up when players of his break into his home and steal his belongings? What kind of leadership turns their head to known domestic violence by an employee? What kind of leadership covers up rape allegations? What kind of leadership strays on their wife with a college coed then tells the world he was having stress-induced “medical issues” only to return to the same job a few years later?

Face it, OSU is relevant because it’s a win at all cost business. There is nothing admirable about OSU, their culture or their program so the projection of poor coaching or play by Clemson just makes us laugh.
