We are at the halfway point of the season and have about two weeks left. This is usually the time where players look at their season totals and cumulative performance and judge how they have come along since the start of the season. For me, I think I have underperformed a bit relative to my personal standards but I have been having a solid season none the less. The one thing that I need to improve on to help the team is to get better at tackling the ball carrier during run plays. Too many times this season, I have felt like I have been having a mitigated impact on our defense due to having a bit of lackluster tackling in regards to the run game. To improve upon that weakness, I have been working on tackling drills with our running backs on the team in order to get my reflexes up to speed in those conditions. In addition, I have been watching film in order to more familiarize myself with run plays so that I will not be caught off guard during the rest of the season for our potential playoff push. I just hope that this extra practice will not be too late for our push.
