@arturlasko Are you serious? If you can't put power into that tackle with your left shoulder then you need to learn how to tackle properly with both shoulders. Also, when the defender in that situation uses their inside shoulder it is leaving a great opportunity for the attacker to step back inside with ease.

@fitzyuc If he would tackle with his left shoulder he couldn't use the power of the whole body. He would use the power of only his left arm. Such tackle is easy to break.

why is an outside lineman running the ball

[dreway1001]

The runner came at the defender straight up what if the runner goes low on me?

@fitzyuc .... There is no similarities between football and rugby tackles. Rugby is fast paced. You don't have the time to really lay into someone. Rugby is more of tossing someone to the ground. In football they wear pads and helmets. On first contact you are trying to put the dude on his butt. You don't need to worry about getting up and finding the ball. Or anything else accept laying out the RB therefore no there is no similarities.

Reading some of the comments below I can't help but laugh that someone says football players aren't athletic I play both and I can honestly say I would happily have chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson on my rugby team, and someone said about getting your head to the side watch videos by Tom bass one of the most rebound football anaylists he says bite what you tackle, mate you don't know more than a guy who's coached pro for more than 30 years

@whdunkley789 Are you seriously that dumb that you cant see similarities between the two sports? Your ignorance is incredible. Oh wait, I know what it is, typical american footballer ego, cant admit that I'm right.
