Plus it has to be a bit subconscious. Ever see anyone try to knock a door down arms first? They throw a shoulder into it.

I don't know what can be done to drill it into their heads, but I wish it was being done. I can't stand seeing guys try to tackle with their shoulder.
i think they have so much drilled into there heads that in the end just making or assisting in a stop is good enough even if it means a wiff or shoulder tackle.
