Tackling

[razorsharptusk]

How much of our tackling problems is due to not bringing folks to the ground in practice?

[Dr. Starcs]

27.6%

none at this point. our problem is a willingness to hit people and wrap up.

[tophawg19]

also we wait on them to come to us so they have the momentum . Lidell is ducking his head and not looking up

[Knot2brite]

Alignment assignment and wrapping up...that is our problem

[tophawg19]

i'm starting to think a few are scared to hit the way they are playing lately

[HiggiePiggy]

27.6%

I think it's closer to 25.3%.....

[Carl Lazlo]

Yea they either don't practice tackling or they are just pussified.  Wrap up.

[razorsharptusk]

Haft him stopped, couldn't tackle him to ground on last touchdown. Serious problem.  In the right place just can't tackle.

[Carl Lazlo]

And same player. Same result.

[DoubleReedHawgCaller]

Everyone on this defensive staff needs their ass fired.

[BroyledNutts]

I'm completely astounded that fundamentals of tackling and alignment have to be taught to D1 players.

[razorsharptusk]

If this keeps up, we will lose this game in the 4th. Ole Miss will make adjustments, hope we do.  Tempo killing us.  We big but we slow.

I'm completely astounded that fundamentals of tackling and alignment have to be taught to D1 players.

I just wish they were.

[bcdeputy]

defensive backs look scared to tackle.  Pathetic effort, perhaps Rhodes wasn't such a grand hire after all?

[alohawg]

They don't want to break a nail? They're soft as a baby's butt?

Well, we improved big time tonight, didn't we?

We need to teach them to tackle the hips instead of the chest. Hitting high leads to missed tackles and targeting calls. But it's a long process to change it because most peewee, jr high, hs school coaches teach you to drive the head through the ball carriers chest.
