Lol, Next drill, chiropractor table
Thats the way Aussies are taught ton tackle when playing rugby league or rugby union. None of this arms by there sides and bump them rubbish. Down low, drive in to the mid section and drive up.

Follow the hips.
Doesn't matter what the head, arms or legs do, the hips signal if he is going left, right and they are the last major body part to move.
Also attacks the centre of gravity.

OZFIN- you are correct. Follow the hips, same coaching principle for wrestling and picking correctly when I was single......
Love the technique of the guy bracing the mat at the far right, stays low throughout the video....

Whatever can help this defense to tackle better because they have not been all that good at it the last few years.

They could learn a few things off this bloke, whenever possible stays low and tackles the around the hips
Best thing about watching that clip, Zach Thomas makes the tackle/play and goes back to the huddle unlike these players today where they all need to show off and tell the whole world that they just made a tackle.

Or worse put their arms on someones shoulders who made a tackle to say to the world I was part of it.
Leave your blo0dy ego in the change room and just do your job.
Interesting Ray Lewis was quick to acknowledge Zach, pity the HOF hasn't yet.

I agree, but, that's one of those things easier to say than do. Even if the defender is watching the hips, a number of NFL RBs/WRs are so quick, even knowing which way the hips are going is often too late.
Again, you're right, and the concept needs to be taught to improve effectiveness, but it seems 'follow the hips' makes it sound easy
oh yeah, it's all about them these days
I don't get a Defense all running to the endzone after a turnover. Not a return for 6 but just a turnover! Sorry but celebrating like that when you've not scored is lame to me. Not sure who started that trend but it's a bit too much.
