Safer Tackling Technique

[Sasquatch]

Came across this interesting piece today and thought I'd post it.

There is a good instructional video on safe tackling technique by the Seahawks toward the bottom.

Maybe it's just where I played when I was a kid, but this is basically the same thing as getting your "helmet on the ball."

I'm failing to see how this is all that new.

See I graduated HS in 1995, that was the way I was taught how to tack shoulder takes brunt of impact head to the side. I also chose to tackle the unsafer ways also because you know why very seldom does the guy stand still long enough to get proper form in.
