Lord, in America I played Defensive End, Offensive tackle, defensive tackle, punter, kicker, middle line backer

(not all at once)

Now in this new country, I might be playing full back, middle line backer or defensive end

and high chances of punter

Good players/leaders listen to everyone, they take advice, take knowledge from all and apply it to their own lives,

Bad leaders think they are always right and never listen :)

I played as a corner for 4 years, lots of open field tackling. I went to championship 3 times.

For open field tackles I've been too to aim for their legs but whenever I do that they always end up kicking my arms and helmet

So I just aim for the low part of their hips and wrap my hands around

Should I stick my head in the tackle aswell?

When I tackle I go for the head and upper body

, forearm into the gut, face mask right under theirs, shoulder into their chest

Would that work?

i don't really play defense but i can give you some tips

if it's someone bigger than you that you're trying to tackle go for the legs

never hesitate, think about running through the person rather than just hitting them and stopping

watch the other persons hips to find out their route

make sure you're low enough the guy that's low enough usually gets the tackle

Lord, wouldn't low hits be illegal?

Naw m8 you want your arms to be around their waist @ your body should be low to the ground, and have the side of your helmet against the same side that you're leaning into.

caboose, but wouldn't you want to inflict pain?

Inside of wrapping your arms into 'em, (I hurt my shoulder joints by wrapping up)

why can I throw a fist or forearm/elbow into their family jewels or guts?

@lord

Only if you're an overpowered muscular lineman

In open field tackles you don't want to do helmet to helmet hits

Yeah, cab is kinda right

I did head to head ONLY

And my left eye went cross eyed, (it popped back 5 plays later)

or u could get a head concuss



SO I'm guessing this:

Open field : wrap up

When in traffic (near line): do my technique

and when doing open field, aim properly and go low
if they cut good, then go a little higher

@jake

I just remembered a technique I learned two years ago

If you bring one arm into their gut, then wrap your other arm around his waste and have your helmet on the other side of the side that's not being wrapped around by your arm

It's a bit hard to explain but I can't really show you in real life...

caboose, but if you are moving your arm to wrap around with one hand in, they could grab and do a spin move,

I'll try it out, I got practice soon anyways

Let me see if I can give am online example lol




Scenario:



You have your right arm wrapped around his waist


What you would need to do is take your left elbow, and press against your opponents right hip really hard.

At the same time, put your head up against his right hip bone and squeeze the hell out of him while tackling him at the same time

He will have pressure coming from both sides, and pressure coming from his front from your body

So he will easily stumble back and become a weak target
