Lack of tackling and agility?

which stuff? Be more specific in what you are asking.

He talks about the 4 LBs who don't tackle imo

Not enough Agility.

The one LB was faked pretty badly (prolly low vision). The other LBers were out of position to make the play before it even started. It's a rookie team so I wouldn't worry too much about it if building properly for the long term.

I found a Q&A a while back where this was addressed an Bort suggested training jumping to increase the defenders tackling radius as a resolve.

They aren't getting faked but are close enough to tackle - it's too little confidence!

First season dots, you can't fix that yet.

This...

They slow down to a stop to change the direction they are running...happens all the time at low levels when you have high speed and no agility.

the LOLB has the angle easily and stops to let the HB run by him. he was not changing direction.

Not only low levels... just watch a kicker or punter trying to make a tackle. Unless the dot runs into them, most just wave bye-bye as the returner passes. Low agility and low jumping and low tackling all combine to make the effect.

Super low tackling then? Not sure, but it is much worse at low levels
