Tackler starts on their knees. As the ball carrier gets closer the tackler steps up to give them more power and punches through to give them more power. The tackler drives through and finishes on top.

So he's gonna have his elbows tucked in hands up. Okay, he's going to punch through step and make the tackle. Here we go. Finish on top perfect. But back I just need to zoom out a little bit. It's a bit close. Stay on that side because it's good. Okay, so you're going to step. So he's got it. He's fitting clothes, squeeze, with the arms finish on top. Excellent.
