My source is Kerry Coombs. His drill tape is in my collection in my office. Lemme know. If the guys playing on Sundays don’t know how to tackle, where are the players who do? My goodness. What a take. Dude, it’s simple. wrap them up. Quote
The Cincinnati Kid Posted November 14 Posted November 14 At the highest levels the DBs are taught how to properly tackle using their bodies to go through the ball carrier so they don’t blow out their shoulders trying to wrap up bigger players. They teach it and drill it. Believe me or don’t. Most high schools and lower levels won’t teach it because most players are similar sizes. Coombs, while the DB coach at Ohio State, told all us “They’re going to tackle with their bodies so they don’t get hurt. So we teach them how to do it properly.” And then went on to show us the tape and talk us through the drills. 1 Quote
Spiderweb Posted November 14 Posted November 14 One of the best tacklers I recall in a Bills uniform was Antoine Winfield. Yes, he wrapped up... 1 Quote
GoBillsForeverAndAlways Posted November 14 Posted November 14 Always love watching Damar on the field. So glad he's a starter this season and I feel like the difference he's made is evident in how he's been helping the team. Looking forward to more good stuff from him! Quote

Ever play football? do you know how to tackle? I heard you the first 2 times. All 3 times you posted are equally dumb. Whether I played football or not is irrelevant to me thinking that tackling is not a lost art. It happens hundreds of times every Sunday and most players are pretty good at it. 1 Quote
