Tackling Techniques & Fundamentals

[iso_55]

This is a great video for coaches teaching their players or fans who want to understand the proper way to tackle a ball carrier. Thought I'd put up the video. If one of the mods can make the video visible rather than clicking on the link, please do.

only watched the first few minutes but seems like there's some good fundamental coaching techniques in there... good that it's being taught to NFLers but this is obviously stuff that should be implemented at the grass roots level... I've long maintained that NFL and CFL players could learn a lot about good tackling techniques from rugby players....

You've probably watched Antoine Winfield Iso?

 

Smaller guy, great tackler.

Actually it is being taught. So, kids are learning. Pretty scary seeing young players get concussions from improper tackling technique.
