Message: [QUOTE="Doctor44, post: 1118843, member: 2658"] 1. I agree the tackling was awful - Our secondary was diving at players legs without wrapping up and our D lineman were just diving at the QBs feet and missing badly 2. Our DE's were awful. They were all going for the dwight freeny/ Jadeveon Clowney beat the tackle and sack the QB from behind move. When you have a mobile QB and an offense built on roll outs and having the QB on the run you have to pursue the QB in your lane. You aren't trying to sack him every play. you're trying to hold your spot on the line and drive the O lineman back into the QB and collapse the pocket - much like kickoff or punt coverage. You're not gonna stop a returner by going wide then coming up behind him for the tackle 3. The scheme - Either you tell the D-lineman to not be overly aggressive and stay in your lanes, or you have a freak LB who can spy on the QB and chase him down when he escapes or you play zone D so everyone is watching the QB [/QUOTE]
