Seahawks taking credit for this technique is laughable. Elite rugby has been doing this forever.

Higher-level competition like college/pro can succeed with this, but it is tough to teach for high school or minor football. I don't like the tracking techniques. The progressions USA Football, Football Canada and the originator FootballUniversity (Thurmond Moore) teach and implement are much better in my opinion with regards to building fundamentals and sound technique.

Like anything you commit to for a program, you have to marry it. If one starts trying to combine different aspects of multiple approach s it becomes problematic with terminology and consistency.

The tracking is what made me finally buy into it. I like how it fits perfectly into teaching inside-out, eliminates cutbacks if done correctly, and leads to better angles for gang-tackling. It took me about a year to wrap my head around it, because it is essentially the opposite of the head across that I was taught and coached for years. But I am a fan, now.

Ah...I see the distinction now. I had missed the 'near shoulder' element. Yeah, I can see that.

Funny how a basically mundane thing can have so many evolutions going forward. "Tacklin' is tacklin' man....get 'em to ground". Nope. That's where some of you folks have me whuped. I can talk baseball with anybody but there are a handful of folks in here w/r/t football that are right outside of my knowledge base.

Appreciate the insight.
