How to Make a Tackle in Football : Where to Hit When Tackling in Football

How to Make a Tackle in Football : Where to Hit When Tackling in Football

Posted on September 12, 2019 by Tyrique Ebert


Hi this is Sean Hobson for Expert Village.
What we want to talk about right now is the proper placement of your body on the opposing
player’s body when making a good tackle. Of course, the first thing we have got to do,
always, when making a good tackle is start with a good base. You want to get your butt
under yourself and have that good base. Then when you’re ready to explode into the player
you have got to be sure to wrap up in the proper spot. You never want to come up and
hit a player up high. For one, if they are a big running back like this guy is, they
are just going to hit you, they’re going to shed you, and you’re not going to be able
to make the tackle. Also, this is a hard place to wrap up, up around here. It’s a lot easier
to wrap up around the waist, or around the legs. You want to make sure and put your outside
shoulder into the player that you’re wrapping up. You never want to take your head and lead
in with your head. First of all, you’re going to cause injuries, and secondly, you can pick
up penalties for spiking into the center of a person’s chest. So you always want to place
your head to the outside and you want to get that shoulder in, you want to wrap up down
low and then you’re going to drive through the tackle and that is the proper way that
you place your body on the opposing player when you’re making a tackle.

    I'm not very familiar with football (or what you call as "handegg"), but I know that it is called "football" because the ball is a foot long.

    I know why is it called football. But look at it like this: For which sport is it more logical to be called football? The one where you kick a ball with your foot? Or the one where it's played with hands, but the ball is long 30 cm and in dumb American bullshit measures it's called a foot.

    For the majority of the time, you have the ball on your hands. If the ball leaves your hands, then it either an incomplete or fumble. In soccer, you control the ball with your feet, other than the goalie. My point is, whoever named American Football, could have been more original. I love both football and soccer.

    it wasn't 'named' American Football. 'Football' is a generic name for the sport(s) that evolved from the earliest form of football. Different regions developed their own codes of football, and as the game evolved, eventually you have multiple codes like today. 'American Football' refers to Football by American Codes. There's also Canadian, Australian, Gaelic, etc codes that are referred to as 'football' in their respective regions. In NZ, 'football' refers to rugby.

    I understand what you are saying. However, from my understanding, soccer is the oldest sport out of rugby and football. Rugby was inspired by soccer, and football was then inspired by rugby. You know what, this isnt important lol ill stop here.

  30. LiouTao says:

    No, Soccer is the merger of several codes, and developed in parallel to Rugby Football. American Football evolved out of Rugby, and Rugby diverged into Union and League.

    There's one big thing you missed is that you all ways want to put ur facemask on he ball because that will most likely cause. A fumble and if there is a time u have to hit fast dip low shoot ur hands and grab high cloth.

    Nope proper way is to put your helmet into the center of their shoulder pads with a low base and wrap your hands around the lower part of their back. Also never put your head straight down that causes concussions keep your head pointing up looking at their helmet and drive your hips.

    Retired highest level rugby player, have to say that straight away because otherwise my facts don't mean anything. Rugby method is being introduced by teams like Seahawks. Here's why the comment section doesn't have a clue.
    1. "Tackle to the side ball is" – safety:stand point having the head across will cause collisions into the side of the head with increased concussion and loading of the neck into the start of the necks vertabrae. Play: more extreme angle of close down makes stepping inside easier and creates a weak inside shoulder as core has moved past point of contact.
    2. "Hit with your chest" safety: this forces your body and spine upright, collisions will cause whip lash effect in neck. Play: the angle of contact is too steep, increased chance of being run over or fended.
    3. "Hit center of pads with your head" safety: axial loading increased massively (neck breaking chance increase). Play: gives ball carrier 3 options for going past you left or right or straight over.
