Boise St +6.5 at Sparty (ov/un 46.5) Fri 8 ET, ESPN

I hear you, those are just dangerous plays and hits. I am just not sure what you teach the DB\Linebacker there. Is it a shove, take em at the waste or knee? How do you keep the game speed and still protect these guys?

They are taught to wrap up. all of these big hits the guy rarely if ever wraps up. If the ballcarrier is able to stay on his feet, he won't be tackled.

 

[Mike80]

ok I'll say it...Sparty sucks.....unless they can run the ball all the time.

They might win 6 games this year if they can't.

 

[NFBuck]

Maxwell will lose 2-3 games for them this season.

Sparty being Sparty

Run that play again..and again..until they stop it...then run it to the other side. Maxwell sucks.

 

[OneBuckeye]

They don't suck. They just have a qb who pisses himself when he is blitzed... And receivers who tip passes to the other team.

Please stop quoting McShay's evaluations. There's no chance that Bell lasts until round 2 barring major character red flags, an injury or a 4.9 40 time.

Ok, so they wrap which is what we are taught early on. The question still remains, where do they lead into them with their shoulder in that situation? They could potentially injure them very easily on that play when they are that close, no matter where they hit them.

 

[Drubuck]

Wow. Those plays took too long to set up

I think you are missing what I'm saying.

They are putting themselves into the dangerous situation. Tackling and hitting is part of the game.

but if they are going for just hard hits and not wrapping up, it's dangerous AND counter-productive.

 

[Mike80]

Sparty might be down 10 by halftime here....

edit: works every time

there is no way Sparty is gonna score after that though...

 

[Drubuck]

Gifts. Wow

 

[buckeyebri]

FUMBLE!!!!

 

[Mike80]

and time for Sparty's QB to pee down his leg again....

 

[AuTX Buckeye]

this game is a game of who shits the bed the least..
