What it is

TCU LB coach Ken Wilson teaches four tackling progressions—roll, angle tracking, lawn mower, and chase—designed for linebacker-specific situations.

Why it's great

Wilson names each tackle type for its game context and coaches the body position that makes it work at speed. The roll tackle teaches contact balance when the ball carrier cuts back; the lawn mower teaches driving through contact at an angle. Most tackling videos teach one form; this builds a toolkit.

How to use it in practice

Run this as stations: demo the roll tackle emphasizing shoulder placement and leg drive, then drill it live with a cone setup that forces the angle. Move to angle tracking with emphasis on head placement, then lawn mower with pad level cues. Finish with chase tackling from behind at three-quarter speed.
