Being a defensive coach, this is a drill we work on all the time in practice. Angle of Pursuit. Making plays on defense is all about taking the correct angle. When going after the ball carrier you should try to see the path they are taking and try to meet them at a spot. Running directly at a good ball carrier is not good especially in the open field, because a good runner will put a move on and evade the tackle more times than not. In the open field you always want to attack the ball carrier at an angle making it harder for them to use a move to get by you. Study the angles taken in this video and practice this the next time you are on the field
