Tackling

I've been waiting for Coach McD to send me some defensive stuff but he hasn't. Here is a tackling video that shows some good and bad technique. 2 things you should notice and NOT do: Don't lead with your facemask! Always slide the head to the side. Also, do not "wind up". Watch how some of the players throw their arms way back like they are an airplane. That is a waste of time. Run through the tackle and generate the power with the legs and hips, not by swinging your arms back. Keep your eyes and head up.

Watch until the end and see some decent blocking on that 1 man sled. The players winds up, but he gets good control and a nice drive.
