One is to physically hit the biggest players on the opposing offense and get a push, just like the opposition, but at the same time, defensive tackles are looking behind the line to see which off-colored jersey has the football while trying to make a play. It could be a tackle, it could be to dislodge the ball from the ball carrier or better yet, sack the quarterback.
