Message: [QUOTE="timkay99, post: 5151355, member: 635"] I think Fran is harping on toughness b/c that is the primary cause for the tackling issues in this game. A 225 pounder coming at you at full speed, the secondary was essentially just throwing themselves at the legs and hoping for the best. They didn't show that toughness of standing up and letting their fundamentals kick in. They let the need for self-preservation kick in, which is rational and what practice tries to train out of you. I would expect to see better angles and overall wrapping up by the secondary against Jamal Haynes (5'9, 190) and Haynes King (6'3, 215) now that there is film for the staff to harp on and really make it a teaching point ahead of this game to open ears.
