Chad Thomas

I think (guessing here) that he probably would shed blocks & make plays in the backfield too often instead of keeping the lineman engaged, allowing the LB to fill. There's always one player designated to make the tackle.

CT might just interupt the design of the play and make the tackle himself. Bad Chad. Get on that bench!

What if the play goes to the opposite side of the field from the designated tackler?

When that happens its usually because the other team showed us something we didn't see on film, weren't expecting and were totally unprepared for. The result of such a situation usually results in what is termed "a chunk play" which is really not of much importance because yards don't matter. Chunk plays and touchdowns are always the result of poor execution and bad tacking. The scheme is always perfect.

When the situation above does occur it is crucial that the players trust the process. It is at this point where they must remember the eight pillars, trust their training and reach into their toolbox and start shoveling coal so that they can get off the field on "Money Downs".

If that fails they then need to use the "life skills" they have learned to "fight their tails off" so they can get back on schedule while not thinking of the destination and enjoy the journey. Above all they have to trust in the fact that they deserve victory.

If none of the above works then the players need to take a deep breath and feel really good about the fact that the stage was not too big for them. They also need to realize what a hostile environment they were in and that even though we lost by 24 that at one point we were only down by three which means we are trending up.

The bottom line is the team and fans need to know it all starts with Al and they will go back to Coral Gables and get it corrected. We need to put it behind us and move on.
