Agree with you-- balance, but hands are huge part of why

His momentum is going back--that's fine---he's protecting the outside
you can imagine from still his weight is on right foot

BUT, look at the LDEs arm---Bruss is beaten on "the long arm"
LDE gets his hands INSIDE Bruss's and lands it perfectly in the
don't know what to call it, the front of the arm pit
and that turns Bruss because his weight is on right foot

that is the balance part you are talking about ... but tackles
have to get somewhat off balance ... but if he lets that
long arm get inside his and the LDE has the low leverage on him

This is where he lost


Rep is in trouble here, his left arm is down
and the LDE sees it ...


Here the LDE lands the long arm WHILE Bruss is playing the
outside...it's over



Left hand not in striking position, LDE arm is
about to strike like a cobra ... OTs taught not to give hands
too early, but also not too late...a highly skilled position
but have to know opponent and also keep hands
in a place the CAN strike and get you hands inside his
or at least neturalize the incoming cobra
