Hi this is Sean Hobson for Expert Village. What we want to talk about are the proper
tackling techniques for our linebackers, our defensive backs and linemen. What we want
to focus on in this clip is we're talking about when a running back or receiver is running
away from you and you're forced to chase the play from the backside. The approach that
we want to take is, first of all, when this running back starts to take an outside route
we never want our linebackers or our defensive backs to try to banana out around and come
up from behind the running back. What we want him to do is, we want him to turn at a ninety
degree angle and try to hand that guy off, not chasing him from the backside, but chase
him straight down the line and try to meet him. Also, when he goes to make the tackle
on this guy, we want him to come up from behind, and when he tackles, we want to try to tackle
with a chopping motion and try to jar the ball loose when he makes the tackle. So, we
are just going to try to walk through what it looks like. The running back is going to
take off, this guy is going to turn and run him down from the backside, and when he goes
to make the tackle he is going to chop down trying to make the tackle and jarring the
ball lose. And that is the proper procedure and technique when chasing a guy down from
behind.
