Is this the week where we start tackling in practice?

I would actually not mind losing the rest of our games if it meant we actually taught some of these kids how to tackle. It blows my mind you can go through four years of high school football and not learn how to tackle, but I guess in 2017 some things have changed.

If anything, not tackling in practice has seemed to increase our injuries somehow.

Why expect change now? Did MR & Co just learn something last night????

You're not ready for game speed, and when you try to make plays at game speed you get your body in incorrect positions and you get injured. Repetitions at speed develops muscle memory so that you react correctly without thinking.
