[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 565377, member: 265"] That's a good question. It can be a depth issue. It is easy to get hurt in realistic tackle drills; i.e. those where the D player has to play off a block or two to get to the runner. If you don't trust your #3 or 4 players at a position, then you might want to curtail tackle box drills during the season and the players can get stale. It can be a coaching issue; some coaches put more emphasis on tackling then others. Tony Dungee really pushed it while he was at Tampa and it showed. It can be a style issue: Tech's DCs - all four of them - seemed to emphasize the initial hit as the way to get people down instead of wrapping up. The idea seemed to be that half the time they'll go down and the other half they'll be slowed down enough to let the rest of the team catch up. Also, doing it that way can speed up getting to the ball. All I know is that I sure do hope that Coach being a D specialist will cure the problem at Tech. We can take it as read that [I]he'll[/I] intervene on this. [/QUOTE]
