    When the tackler approaches the person who has the ball at his feet, the footballer has to make a scotch type turn. This is a turn that will pose the back of the player who has the ball to the front side of the tackler. Once the player rolls the ball to the other side, the person with the football has to make another roll, this time to the side so that the 2nd tackling person is also beaten and the two tacklers are left for dead, and the ball remains with the dribbling player.
