I only played football until Jr High so maybe you guys that played in college or pros can help me out here. What is so difficult about learning to hit, wrap and drive with your legs? I understand that tackling dummies aren't the same as a person but they can still be used to teach technique. Maybe they should get some ex-college football player volunteers, pad'em up and let them be the dummies.
It's not hard to learn technique on tackling dummies, I never had an issue with translating it to the field.
