I know for a fact that they don't TEACH fundamental tackling in practices.
In fact as strange as this sounds most school practices don't. They kind of follow the approcah that if you play at this level you should already know how to tackle.
I guess they missed out on our players not only learning how to wrap up, but being in position to wrap up to begin with. There were so many times this year that our Safeties/Cat/Cougarback...whatever you call them were out of position or took a wrong angle that I wanted to pull my hair.
The safeties were as equallly disapointing in their execution this year as the corners were. All around a really bad secondary.
Unless there is at least SOME improvement made talent wise back there then even with all the talent and experience returning on offense...in a 12 game season, we won't win more than 7 games.
