No slack. Rambo was in position to make the tackle and yet again showed terrible technique. I have been hearing more and more about how Seattle players are all trained in the rugby technique in tackling. Aiming for the hips or lower and WRAPPING your arms around the ball carrier. Even if you do not bring him down, you slow him down so your help has time to arrive. What Rambo did on that play was incredibly bad technique. This is a major issue. You can teach a player proper technique, but when instinct takes in the heat of battle, you have to have the discipline to stay in control. Rambo loses his control for some reason.
