Defensive Tackling

Because our offense is getting the most tackling work this year.

I agree with you 100 percent. I wrote this the other night on here, but only response I got was someone who blasted me for my lack of posts on the site. In any case, I have made the same observation. We do not wrap up and tackle. Poor fundamentals which is very alarming. Hopefully Les has recognized this, its been going on all season.

They are pressing too hard and trying to make plays. The are trying to get turnovers, instead of letting the turnovers come naturally.

i think its because they are going for the big hit instead of rapping up and bring them down.

They're trying to strip and regardless of my preference, it did save us a touchdown in the first three minutes of the game.

that was one of the things I noticed during the game...and it really pissed me off, because bammers were gaining an extra five yds after contact on just about every tackle...they were trying to tackle shoulder high...three lsu defenders trying to tackle julio, and all three were around the shoulders, i know they like to go for the strip, but crap, sometimes you just have to put them on the ground...they gained an extra fifty yds of rushing because of poor tackling...but they did play one heck of a game..great improvement, I was proud of the way the defense came back time after time...
