Will Pagano change his no-tackling philosophy in training camp/practices ? #coltsmail
Mike Wells: Things could be changing after this being a topic of discussion with the Indianapolis Colts in years past. Coach Chuck Pagano has shied away from tackling during training camp in the past because he wanted to avoid player injuries.
Two things happened with Pagano taking that approach: The Colts still saw their fair share of injuries despite not tackling, and their defense suffered during the season, particularly from the tackling standpoint. You can’t expect a team to tackle with discipline during games after not practicing it beforehand.
