Steelers select FS Gerod Holliman with their 7th Rd pick

It's a common theme with today's player. They all want to come in and just hit the ball carrier without wrapping up.

Ain't that the sad truth.

Poor coaching.

Much like how NCAA basketball players can only shoot 3's or dunk the ball.

I came across several others. It sounds like this kid is an INT obsessed lazy player. Tons of bad habits and has been allowed to get away with alot of stuff that will get you benched or cut in the NFL.

If he simply does not want to tackle, it will be pretty obvious early on and it should not be hard to cut a 7th round pick.

Agreed.

After Holliman got the call from Tomlin, he got a 2nd call from the NFL office for his address to send the FedEx (Fine) letter.

Not to mention that guy who wore #43...I forget his name. He had problems wrapping his arms too at times.

Bingo. For as great a player as he was, I wouldn't pick him to teach a tackling clinic either.

This guy, however...

Dobra Shunka was a tackling machine.

Actually, the fundamentals of tackling were much stronger back in the day across the board.
