Trivia question for ROTB members :
Of all the Cardinals’ defensive players in 2020 who started more than 10 games, which player had the highest tackling grade?
Answer: he’s pictured above.
Good, consistent tackling requires excellent technique.
Case in point: both last and this year Haason Reddick made textbook tackles (sacks) on Russell Wilson while rushing the edge to Wilson’s right, where Wilson is often a Houdini at breaking contain and escaping pressure.
The first mistake that edge rushers make is rushing on a straight line to the QB. More often than not, that will lead to the QB breaking contain and extending the play either via a QB scramble or a pass from the open field on the move.
