Emphasize that they can create turnovers while still using correct technique.  Show them Vonn Bell de-cleating Schmuster as an example.  Vonn didn't wrap him up, but that was because the little punk was launched backward before he could.  That will always be one of my all-time favorite Bengals plays.  Talk about sending a message.  We need a defense full of guys who hit like that.

I agree with what you're saying, but in the case of a LB like Germaine Pratt versus a RB, he needs to drop and wrap. Every time.
