Since you know alot about this technique, maybe you can explain how a 5'10'', 130 lb player wraps, lifts, and slams a 6'1', 190 lb player.

Also, how does this technique work when running across field to make a tackle. Seems like going for the legs in more effective.These are questions asked to the coach originally by my son, but he was told, 'You just do it".I am baffled as to why a coach wouldn't explain things to a player. Thought that was part of the job. My son is a receiver, not a lineman.

My nephew (also playing) attended a training camp run by a good college team and this was used as a drill to learn to keep the head up, not as an actual tackle. I haven't seen any team we play, many of which are very good, use this method.

Maybe it's not the method, just the instructors.
