One of the reasons we gave up so many big plays the last few years has been horrible open field tackling. Chris Ash has been teaching the last few years the Seahawk Rugby inspired near hip tracking/shoulder to thigh tackling style. If you watch the DBs and LBs of Seattle and Ohio State you can see this being used effectively.
Now, having superior athletes that can cover and close makes a huge difference but this style has become increasing popular by top Ds the last few years. It won't be the panacea for our horrible defense, but I will guess we tackle and pursue much better in 2016.
