CTR could tackle when he got off da bus the first day on campus---just like Swilling and Burnett. He was a tackling machine and coaching had very little to do with it. Tackling is a lot like height and speed---it's very difficult to coach. Of course now, we need to coach how to tackle in a gentle polite manner or be ejected.
It's not tackling in a polite manner. It's about how you tackle and which part of the body you use. Days gone by, you could spear and clothes line other players. Those are dirty plays. You can still hit hard. It's a matter of using your shoulder vs crown of helmet. It's also about wrapping up. I don't care how big you are. If both your knees are wrapped up, you aren't going anywhere.
Unless we hire Satterfield.
Exactly how I feel......
The issue is, the D is getting penetration but they are getting to far up field and not maintaining their gaps. This is completely different than what they have been doing for years and they haven’t learned to go hard but at the same time play disciplined. I’ll also add, we are probably playing 4 or so players at positions that just don’t fit wht woody wants to do. This big of a change is going to take some time. If you go look at what he did for App State, his first year wasn’t great but things really changed in his second year, this is SO different than what we use to do, so naturally it will take time.
I knew it wouldn’t work, I didn’t want Roof canned his best reciting class was finally about to take the field and we pulled the plug on him.
Yeah that blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
