FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons continue to have issues with tackling opponents. So, maybe it's time to look harder at the defensive coordinator?
Now, that's not an indictment of Marquand Manuel, by any stretch. It's actually more an endorsement of a guy who played strong safety in the NFL for eight years and knows the proper way to tackle. Manuel has the film to prove it.
When Manuel was a defensive assistant with the Seattle Seahawks, he was one of the primary characters demonstrating different techniques in a 20-minute tackling video, narrated by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll.
