But that's the first time I've seen the leg whip/roll taught as an actual technique rather than the hip thrust and drive.
Like I said, Cunningham uses that to outstanding effect - he's not a tentative tackler. He's just something you have to get used to. He's going to be a very good player, IMO.

He isn't great at it, but he has obviously taken to heart the near shoulder part of it, as everything I saw in the small amount I watched was hit with a near shoulder.
