    Looks like maybe we are going away from the flailing one-arm tackle technique that has served us so well the last several years...

    Wow. Actual defensive coaching. I guess it is within the rules to use both arms.

    Today I learned that you can “wrap up” and possibly increase the chances of a successful tackle. This must be a new rule.

    The Gator Roll. I guess Manny was on to something.

    Awesome, teaching to tackle one step behind the ball-carrier. Should reduce the early over extension and missed arm tackles quite a bit. Love it.

    How cool are those moving tackle dummies, wish they had those back in the day.

    Taking turns as the human dummy during form tackling drills sure sucked. Stand still, tuck your chin, and get blasted onto your back with tackler piling on top. Yeesh.
