    Last nights game between Ellison and the knights was interesting. The Eagles defense was not firing on all the cylinders.

    From what I observed, what they have a problem is tackling a runner. Instead of wrapping them up, they bump them with a shoulder and think they are supposed to fall down. Guess what guys, it doesn't work that way. They simply did not put their arms around a running back and hold on to them. That and mistakes. A lot of not needed penalties. The dumbest one (and they did this twice) was a sideline individual bumping into a ref.

    When we left the Eagles were ahead by a TD and by the time we got home we learned that they had to go into overtime and win with a field goal. Don't know why they had to go to that, but it had to be due to defensive inability, and from what I saw, there was plenty of that.

    And I thought they had the D under control. That, and the QB (Spiller) holds on to the ball too long and loves to call his own number a lot.
    They’re gonna have a long night against Shoemaker next Friday if they tackle like that.

    Spiller needs to be reigned in by his coach. He's a shadow of his old man at QB.

    Well, Spiller has got some talent, but he has a tendency to make up his mind about halfway through the hike count if he is going to try it alone or actually throw the ball. Then, if a receiver is not open in a fraction of a second, he tends to haul ass with the ball. And, the opponents see this and plan for it accordingly.

    But Ellisons defensive coach needs to get the importance of actually tackling a running back instead of just bumping into them and expecting them to fall on the ground. I watched as number of college games yesterday and saw this same trend. I think it may come from a fear of a tackle being called for hands to the face or an inadvertent facemask call. Not sure, but whatever the reason, the opponents get a large amount of real estate due to this cautionary move. Probably more than if the defense were actually called for a facemask penalty. Which does not happen all that often.

    But armchair coaching is easy, and I am sure that the coaches have thought all of this stuff through and have plans on improving the conditions.
