@@nadaesfacil exactly he’s not 24 years old anymore he’s getting into his mid 30s which is impressive to even last that long as a defensive player. People say oh he’s lost his speed and explosiveness and I’m like no shit he’s getting older and he broke his leg twice. Also Derrick Henry is like 250-260 pounds and 6’4 while earl Thomas is maybe 200 pounds on a good day and is barely even 5’10. People are so stupid like do they realize prime earl Thomas was an animal. One on one he broke rob gronkowski ribs. Do you know how hard it is to break someone’s ribs though padding especially someone as big as gronk. Earl dominated for 10 years and has one play where he got stiff arm by Henry and everyone is like ahhhhhhhhhh earl is trash. Do they realize he mad the pro bowl that year. In my opinion he’s the best free safety to come out of the draft in 15 years. People sitting at home really saying a professional athlete is bad. He’s not there by mistake.
This is how football players are suppose to tackle! Target zone is between the knee and ankle! If you take that out you take out the foundation of a runner thus immediately stopping the runners forward momentum!!
yes it can but it also can ankle it easier it’s best to either if they are coming at you grabbing under their shoulder pads alto und their armpits and pushing the first of your helmet up and tackling them
For safety you have to build those fundamentals so you don’t have to think about it and your vision is very important because you’re the last line of defense
Seahawks fan here. I miss the LoB, and there will never be another defense like that… ever. A good friend of mine is a Bears fan, and he told me the 2013 Seahawks defense was better than the ‘84 Bears defense. That’s arguable but coming from him, that says a lot.
i member watching this video it was a tackle tutorial we was watching it in the film room one of my first years playing football in like 7th or 8th grade
I pulled off this same type of tackle in middle school and my coach reamed me a new one cause the runner got four extra yards from the point of contact. Form was good, but minimizing years post-contact is important
I’m here after watching Nick Chubb get his knee blown out. Crazy how a lot of db’s now opt out of technique like this and just dive face first at your lower legs
You should have the play start to finish after your explanation so we can see what you’re highlighting in real time. It makes it so much more impressive when you see how quickly the play unfolds and how ET isn’t fooled at all. Awesome video though and a solid explanation:)
When my couch told me that I said if it’s wrong then why do the professionals do it. The guys at the highest level do it and y’all preach the lowest man wins so if you wanna say it’s wrong then go tell the professionals they don’t tackle right. They just looked at me and said nothing. The first game of the year was the next week and they took my starting position away because they said I was disrespectful and our safety’s were getting ran over and missing tackles the whole first half and the second half they put me in and no joke the first drive of the second half I got low and drove the runner back 10 yards and I said it looks like the way I tackle isn’t that bad. The rest of the game I was smashing everything in front of me and I said that’s how you fucking hit. After that game I transferred to another team that I knew played them. Unfortunately I had to sit out 5 games because I didn’t live within that school district. But I played my old team and I had 15 tackles an interception for a touchdown and a sack. Still to this day I’ve never had the same feeling then that night. The look on my old coaches face was worth everything.
Exactly bro earl is barely 200 pounds and gronk is like what 270 and almost a foot taller than him. He literally broke gronks ribs and punctured his lung. That’s a hard hitter and just think he did that through the padding. I can’t imagine if earl was the size of some of these safety’s. Can’t imagine if he was 6’2 215-220
Preach. People drive me crazy saying size means something. I said a guy 180 pounds can tackle a guy 500 pounds easy. I don’t care how big he is. If you hit those legs they will not want that smoke for the whole game. That shit hurts. People don’t understand that. Also they can’t run if you simply wrap the legs up
@@Adamjames175 thing is he is 25 pounds heavier and the coach knows that and obviously i can tackle him but in the drill i cant go low for safety so in reality it. 80% chance i get run over since i cant go low
Every defensive play makes bad angles even guys like Lawrence Taylor, Ed reed, Ray Lewis, Brian Dawkins and every other great player. He was a starting safety in the professional level for over a decade. He’s not there by mistake
My 5’3 son in high school gets destroyed when he breaks down and squares up. So I’ve taught him how to hip drop. Step to the side of the runner grab him and pull.
I'm not sure it is perfect technique. He lowers his head and leads with the crown of helmet. We were always taught to see what we hit. Lessens chance of concussion. I would never show this video to any young player. Everything else is perfect but...
Dude you realize earl Thomas is like 5’10 maybe around 200 pounds. Why the hell would he tackle high. That almost as perfect as it gets right there. But the lower you get the more leverage and power you have on your tackles. Why would you try and tackle someone high when you can just wrap the legs up. Remember you can run if your legs get wrapped up or taken out
@AdamMckennen You'll know a tree by its fruits they skipped and pranced around like street gang thugs but alot of it is typical in the N..FL but was especially present this former team.

U tried to sound so smart at the end
How am I suppose to tackle them if I’m beside or behind the ball carrier, tell him to slow down so I can get in front of him
Fundamentals of the regular rugby tackle.
@@rubenyes7102 learn to find a better angle of pursuit.
He still ran for 7 yards. That’s a win in my eyes.
That wasnt the point.
the point is this is an effective way to tackle 😂
Yeah but any other safety would’ve got trucked and it would’ve been a big play
Beautiful form
For safety you have to build those fundamentals so you don’t have to think about it and your vision is very important because you’re the last line of defense
Ngl I thought it would’ve been a jk and he’d get trucked

So awesome technique is identical with and without pads… rugby/am football
Perfect
Mane very underrated was earl thomas
It’s great. Looks like a standard rugby tackle that the players make one after another for 80 minutes straight play, offense and defense.
yeah but nobody gives a fuck about rugby that shits gay
That’s how we learned to tackle not helmet to helmet
Thats one of the first good tackles I've seen in this sport
I pulled off this same type of tackle in middle school and my coach reamed me a new one cause the runner got four extra yards from the point of contact. Form was good, but minimizing years post-contact is important
He has his help to right side of him which is why he aimed for the right of side of hunt

Same as Rugby, he’s going nowhere without his legs.
Vision and fundamentals is broad, but bending knees, keeping head up and hitting between knees and hips is taught in middle school
Way better examples out there bro!
Lowest man wins💯👍🏽
That is how I tackle and every one says I drop to my knees it makes me mad even my coaches

did he drop his head when he went down
But he didn't wrap up
Yea he did around the ankles and calf
He wrapped up and went through the tackle
He's the man to hit Gronk in the chest and took him out for the year.
Exactly bro earl is barely 200 pounds and gronk is like what 270 and almost a foot taller than him. He literally broke gronks ribs and punctured his lung.

Wouldn't that make him vulnerable to being hurdled?
you do understand that actuals rbs don't usually try hurdling
Yes they do wtf
In football the lowest man wins because he has more power and leverage in his tackles

And now refs have the power to potentially throw a flag on that despite perfect technique, im sick
Nope, that wouldn't ever get called for a flag. He doesn't unweight himself or position his body weight on the legs of the ball carrier
@@solomonsheridan8272 you would hope so right? RIGHT?!?!?!?!?!?

SO put his spinal cord at risk like the way Ryan shazier made the tackle..... got it
You’re at risk on every tackle
Exactly how you are supposed to tackle - hip drops are dirty

Step to the side of the runner grab him and pull.
Bet hes fast af though
Looks like a missed tackle to me lol the rb tripped over him
No he didn’t hunt us about 5’10 he got lower then earl y’all just say anything 😂
😏
WHERE IS KAM CHANCELOR
They're gonna ban this tackle too cause he went low 😂
All fun and games til a running back is 5’8 and your 6’0
That means nothing I’ve seen taller guys be able to get super low

this tackles about to be banned in nfl. LMAO
This is now illegal 🤦♂️

Kareem hunt is not a rookie lol
Are you dumb this video was taken almost 8 fucking years ago. It’s shows him in a chief’s uniform. Not a browns uniform
Decent play. Far from perfect though
About as good as it gets . He could have wrapped up better but besides that it great
Horrible example.. good way to hurt your back or neck.
If you support this bs, says more about you than the NFL.
You just talking bum
No one supports your bs.
