stop teaching players not to tackle by wrapping up the legs??? This throwing their bodies at ballcarriers or trying to wrestle them down is not only ineffective, it clearly doesn't work many times resulting in "whiffs' of long gains before the carrier goes down. In my playing days, we were taught to put the shoulder in their bread basket and wrap up and drive their ass in the dirt.
