Answer 1

hit him in the waist and hold on. use your own weight to drag him down.

Answer 2

dont be scared to pop them! be alert read the ball, and you wont have to tackle! youll get interceptions! but if you have to tackle, wrap up there legs

Answer 3

You need to hit them between the knee and the waist and be sure to wrap your arms around their legs.  If you hit them low and wrap them up, then they will go down regardless of size.

Answer 4

always go low towards the knee and thigh area or if your close enough slide and take out his legs with your shoulder pads. my fav was always takin them nose up and burying my shoulders into their stomachs or sliding and taking out the legs

Answer 5

its pretty easy all u do is run full speed at them then wrap your arms arond ther stomach (try to grab there arms aswell) then just pull all ur weight onto them and they should be on the ground

Answer 6

Go for their waist not quite front on, turn your head to the side, and then let your legs go loose and bring all your weight into your shoulders and drop like a rock... support will bring them over... and because their big they are usually soft when they fall on you, its the bony ones that hurt! And if you keep hanging on like a terrier dog every time, they will eventually start swinging the ball to the other side of the park... and you might get man of the match...

Answer 7

Front on works for me........shoulder level with the guy's stomach.....the breathe will go right out of him!

Answer 8

i know it is dirty, but go for their knees and ankles and remember to wrap up on your tackle

Answer 9

start out running dig your shoes into the ground and hit them hard and low!!!! being strong dont mean shiznit....... its how you play the game!!!!
