I think good tackling comes from good positioning. It is easy to say that they need more live hitting in practice. If you’re overthinking and a step-behind your progression, then your angle into the ball carrier is going to be limited. The one thing that can help here is learning how to wrap up and roll properly.

It’s also important (football is a team sport). Every individual player on that 11 man defense has a job. For the defense to remarkable - every defender needs to do their job and do it well. I could be playing LB, read the play perfectly, only to have my teammate out of position and now there’s a huge gap and I have to react, and now my tackling lane is altered; etcetera. It looks to me that there’s an awful lot of thinking going on. This is everyone’s first year in this scheme (minus Diggs). Maybe that’s why he looks like a stud. He’s more reacting and fluid.

I would love to be a fly on the wall observing practices and film sessions
