Not the stupid arm or strip tackling where the runner or receiver gets an extra 5-20 yards while we are trying to strip the ball.
Hard tackling will cause turnovers and cause the runner or receiver to be somewhat hesitant.
That's what i was saying while watching the past few games... Stop going for the ball everytime... just hit them hard and wrap up... they will cough it up if we just HIT THEM WITH ATHORITY. the turnovers will come
Ball carriers now days know to just hold tight and keep your feet moving you will end up 5yds downfield while guys pull at the ball. I would bet teams across college football are averaging 150yds giving up per stripped ball!
Drives me f*ing crazy to see this! Back in "the day" ,failure to hit hard and wrap up would earn you a spot next to the coach handing out water bottles.
THIS.
