arch...so what you seem to be saying is once a player progresses to the Pros, they no longer are capable of being taught something SO SIMPLE as proper tackling technique..?

arch..you do realize how preposterous that opinion IS, DON'T YOU..?

Do you really believe that once a coach reaches the PRO level that their ability to successfully teach football basics disappears..?

...and do you really believe that once a "player" reaches the PRO level that the player is no longer capable of learning football basics such as tackling technique..?

NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH..!!!

The fact is those guys have been taught that stuff by every coach along the way and they simply don't do it. If they won't do it by this point, they aren't.
