How do you tackle this guy?
quote:then get lower than the ball carrier.
Low man wins contact.

What exactly is a defender supposed to do when the ball carrier lowers his helmet (which happens on nearly every play)?

It's not impossible, but it is impossible to ensure you make that tackle without getting your helmet involved.
A RB bending at the waist and leading with his helmet has eliminated any target above the waist without getting the helmet involved. So you either A: stick your head in there and make the tackle or B: dive for his feet.
