[QUOTE="jrichisamazing, post: 1410664, member: 8500"] What is he supposed to do on that targeting? I am genuinely interested in how a coach is supposed to teach tackling. He went down low, didn't launch, and wrapped the guy. The receiver lowered his body bracing for impact and their heads collided. There is no other way to tackle him other than going all the way to the ground and grab his ankles (a good way to miss the tackle) or running up to him to him, stopping, and wait to see what kind of move the receiver makes. Ever since this targeting stuff changed a few years ago players have been complaining that it would lead to more lower body injuries. I wonder if anyone has been tracking it to see if there has been an increase in lower body injuries and/or a decrease in concussions. If it was 10 years ago that safety certainly isn't going for Dudek's knees. [/QUOTE]
