Message: [QUOTE="Brooky03, post: 1526284"] It depends on the teacher. I had a varsity coach who taught you to put your facemask (head up) into the runner's chest and wrap your arms around his lower back. He was a college linebacker, so this probably applied more to linebackers and other interior players than DB's, but it was effective in the open field too. Some runningbacks have monster legs, so trying to wrap those suckers is not going to always work. It can be easier to wrap a little higher; you might go for a bit of a ride, but the tackle won't get completely broken like if you go for legs and miss. The problem is wrapping up though. Most kids seems to want to make highlight reels now and just lower the boom without wrapping. More often than not, they end up looking like idiots. [/QUOTE]
