Football tackling
What ever happened to the art of tackling?
I remember playing pee-wee football the first thing you learned on defense was to wrap-up and tackle.
Seems like every game I watch lately, all the defense does is try to lay big hits on the ball carrier and they never wrap up. If you watch a college or pro game you'll notice that over the past few years, the best running backs are guys who can 'bounce' off of the defenders. The defenders try those big hits and these littler running backs just bounce off the hit and keep going.
Has anyone else noticed other trends liek this lately?
