This achievement is called "Oh, no you don't"

You get this achievement for killing a Ram using the tackle skill.

The rams are the giant no armed charging guys. It is best to get there health as low as possible before trying to kill them with a tackle as the tackle skill does very little damage and the achievement can still be unlocked as long as it is a tackle that kills the ram.

(*Note: you must have at least 2 Ranks in the tackle skill in order to do any damage with tackle. You should see damage appear above the Rams head when you hit him. (credit goes to mattcrossUNC))

(*Note: Sam B is the only character that gets the tackle skill. (credit goes to Mercenary Girl))
mattcrossUNC I couldn't do damage with tackle until it had 2 points on the skill. May be worth adding to the comments as I spent 10 minutes trying to kill one with the level one skill :-)

Captin Wesker Also on a side note works better if you beat him down with a good weapon first and then try to kill him with the tackle other wise it would take quite a while to kill him

OTTERKAYAKI what button do you hit to tackle though?

Cro11 you just push the left thumbstick in to run at them and when sam b gets close he will do an elbow animation and it will do damage to whatever your tackling. you will know it worked because you will lose a big chunk of stamina

CrazyCanadian77 i tried doing this on the first ram in the game in front of the church and i spent 5 minutes tackling him because i didn't want to have the last hit accidentally be from a weapon but with my last tackle he was in the fire and i didn't get the achievement :(

chanjamluke ^Happened to be when I first tried, got so close then he ran into the fire and burnt to death.

PainAmbassador You might want to make it known for the stupid people like me, THIS IS NOT SAM B's FURY SKILL!!!! I had killed a Ram using Sam B's fury and I was wondering why the achievement didn't pop, ntil I looked into it more. I had to go on x360a and that's not good people.
