Another fine came down for the Bungholes game. Nick Bolton got fined for a hip drop tackle. I originally thought that it was the tackle on Chase, but that wasn't Bolton. I got more information today. It was on the right end All at the end of the first quarter. Here's a snipit from the article.
As for Bolton specifically, he was in a tough spot as he chased All from behind and made a diving tackle. Bolton's form on the tackle was good and he was dragged a bit before All went down. Bolton's only other option was to not attempt the tackle at all, which would have resulted in a much larger gain and possibly even a touchdown.
Like the officials, defenders are in an almost impossible position with this. There are obvious hip-drop tackles, but many are just too subjective. Unfortunately, the NFL has this issue with more than one of its rules, such as pass interference and what exactly defines a catch. The definition of what a hip-drop tackle is will likely remain frustrating for the foreseeable future.
