Message: [QUOTE="HurricaneDave, post: 4752397, member: 8271"] I’m not at practice so I don’t know if they are ever tackling fully to the ground during the season. My guess is probably not and that goes for most teams. How do you improve tackling in season without tackling? They should be scaling the drills to teach and practice skills. Instead of 100% effort (intensity) you reduce the intensity greatly and reduce the injury risk while improving the skill. Andy Ryland of USA Football has a lot of good info regarding specific drills. He takes a lot from rugby. How many teams are doing this? Probably not many. On Saturday there were 2 missed tackles including by a DT on a QB run. It looked just like the tackle the foam wheel drill where a coach rolls the donut and players tackle it by rolling. Problem is the donut has no weight to it so there is minimal skill transfer to an actual tackle, as was very evident by the 2 players executing the practice technique and failing to complete the tackle. I’ve seen plenty of this drill in the practice hype videos. Miami went through very similar issues recently. Idk how much detail you want to see but the link below goes in depth, specifically tackling issues from Miami, but also has a lot of good info on tackling itself and practicing/drills, if you go toward the end of the post.
