How to make a stronger reverse block tackle?

In this second example with we can see a sliding reverse tackle which is similar to the previous clip: the left hand is on the ground allowing the defender to reach long.

Another important detail which makes is very positive, is it that the flat side of the stick is not  looking up but it’s actually in a more vertical angle creating a “wall”. In the case that the attacker lifts the ball, the attacker can still make the tackle.
