Track the inside hip. He did it. Long stride, short stride, shoulders square. Clinic tape. But he misses the tackle. Coming from depth or forcing the ball there are 2 acceptable outcomes. Make the tackle or get him to stop his feet and turn him to your help. Neither... one starts at the inside hip. Brian Branch on almost the same play shows you how it's done.show more

Textbook cross face situation that sets the edge and cuts off the ball carrier. Drills can’t happen in isolation. Situations dictate drills. Many want this to be one size fits all. That’s not how it works in reality.

n thats why you cross the face...

Clips are very much different

The big boys love when force players do their job! 🔥

As long as I can count on you humming down the LOS!

@The_Coach_A In the first play, if the corner gets off the block and vice tackles his outside hip, the safety is in perfect position. But your corner is blown off the ball

@RamonFoster @kbull53 @bbishop23 I responded my opinion seperate, but how are these 2 plays similar? I find it hard to compare cause ones a play outside the numbers 1 on 1 and ones bumped inside with plenty of support. Y’all played the sport and played pro so lookin for advice

I could put an hour's worth of cut-ups and spend a whole day on a tackling clinic if I wanted to. Not exactly, but both on a NUB side and coming from a depth of 7+ yards in 1-on-1. When you have 9 defensive teammates running inside out, you take your shot at the outside knee. The OS knee makes him stop his feet and acceleration. Avoid launching as much as possible from inside out.

@RamonFoster @kbull53 @bbishop23 The cut ups you posted at 2 night and day plays from the average viewer aka me, hence why I tagged 3 players that are active on Twitter cause if they agree with you let’s ride, I clearly overlooked somethin. But seems unrealistic to compare an inside run with support to 1 on 1

@RamonFoster @kbull53 @bbishop23 You don’t have to agree with me. 😉 I only share opinions that I know from experience and study.

@RamonFoster @kbull53 @bbishop23 I’ve always appreciated you on the broadcast cause as a titans fan I see and hear you a lot, an not bein one of those guys, cause you know more technical ball than I do, I just find it hard to draw the comparison between the clips. But can’t wait to hear you on the call this year

Amani a hoe!! @amanihooker37 don’t care

What do you think of him being fully extended before making contact?

I think that is a bad and dangerous position to be in.

Genuine question, how are the two plays apples to apples, one is a play to the outside of numbers and one is cutting back inside, as a safety it’s easy to attack the outside leg when they’re cutting back inside verses a guy a hitting the boundary

& there is a different level between these two players !

@MikeHerndonSk1 @TicTacTitans man 🤦🏽‍♂️

He's got to keep his head up instead his head and eyes drop and see the turf not the runner-as a result it becomes just a shoulder hit.

That’s what happens when you launch off of inside foot

Hooker is also just diving at his ankles vs squaring up and tackling the mid section. Thats where he loses.
