The Defensive One on One Blind Tackling Drill helps train your defenders to react quickly while making the proper read and tackle.

To start this drill, line up a tackler and a dummy simulating a ball carrier about 5 yards apart, with the tackler's back facing the ball carrier.

The defender will then spin around and pursue the ball carrier, head up, while squaring up for a good form tackle.
