Scheme can have a really significant impact on tackling effectiveness. What I’ve seen is that we had a ton of injuries and y Ugh on D. Orlando stubbornly stuck with his “full system” of looks, disguises, etc. The youth on the field was not ready and couldn’t handle all of the stuff given to them. As a result, they have often been out of position, with no understanding of where the others would be and where the leverage is, etc. They have been late and out of position a LOT.
Out of position/lateness = low % arm tackling. We have seen SOME improvement, due to more experience on the field and some simplification of formations and whatnot.
Also, has anyone broken down the KSU tape to figure out how we kept having a single DB on half to the field, being blocked by a WR, while another WR caught the screen on that side? It happened ALOT. Was it a motion thing or what?
