My opinion of the defense and their inability to tackle: They are slow physically, and slow mentally. They are slow to recognize where the hell the ball is, and so they are getting into the picture too slowly. Therefore they are forced to rely on arm tackles as a last resort. If it's a slow team, they don't do so bad, but it the team is speedy, they are in trouble. That was the problem today. I'm not sure of the number, is it 47, in the secondary is really slow.
Our coaches need to work on tackling techniques when our players are in a 1 on 1 situation to teach this kids how to effectively wrap up the player or trip the player.
" Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"
