Amen! Some of these people on here are experts on most anything you bring up thou4th..
You don't say?! That's quite a revelation. Thanks for sharing.
I think you missed my point.
Don't care and wasn't trashing the kid. This is actually how most kids do tackle. The big sportcenter hits. It's also why you see more concussion and neck injuries and why some say if they played without helmets, you would have more broken noses and teeth but fewer concussions.
I'm sure you don't care what my thoughts on the matter might be. I just think it's laughable how some on here want to take a little bit of high school ball and parlay that into some know it all coaching post over one play the kid made. I'm sure you could've won state if the coach had just put you in.
Edit: I'm sorry Jacket. That may have been a bit over the top. I've been sipping some cask strength bourbon tonight and I get real sarcastic when I do that. My apologies
I think it was more a discussion of how tackling technique has deteriorated over the years. It's in the NFL and everywhere. It really had nothing to do with Ingle. I like that he is fearless. I played QB and some what we called rover and grew up playing in the Atlanta area. I was on the field but we never made the playoffs except one year. So maybe we would've won state if the coach had played somebody else.

In the late 70's, besides 'proper' technique, we were taught to 'earhole' the opposition with the crown of our helmet.. In todays game, I wouldn't make it out of the first quarter.
I now have three fused cervical vertebrae to show for it....
