this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Its so ironic our best defense on paper in a long time and this is what we get the first game. I think they can turn it around, but if not this will be a very long season....

Re: Keenan Lewis working overtime on tackling techique
The perfect, true, and pure form tackle is one of the hardest things to accomplish on the field. The form tackle is meant for to people heading for a head to head collision. It doesn't really accommodate angles, runners changing pad level, strength and momentum disparities, amongst other things. Just wrap up and bring him down as best you can. As long as he goes down. If you can't, hold him until someone gets there who can.

Re: Keenan Lewis working overtime on tackling techique
none of you could tackle a professional football player.
not even the kickers. you might have a chance with the cheerleaders. i trust our staff to make corrections. |

Actually, I wish the NFL would make the players at least make an attempt to wrap up. In rugby if you don't wrap up a players that you tackle it's a penalty. |

Re: Keenan Lewis working overtime on tackling techique
Basics, it doesn't get any easier than what you just said. I wonder what coach is teaching them not to wrap up? If I were Payton that coach would be on a extreamly short leash, period.
