Watch as Coach Manny Diaz explains and shows video examples of the Devil Tackling Drill. The players start with one knee on the ground, then the player on the right works on tackling using left shoulder leverage. They want to get the near cleat in the ground and stick their shoulder into the offensive player in the thigh. Devil tackling is like a walking lunge that is worked on in the weight room.
