Good. You defined the rule. Not explain how you go about avoiding trapping the runners legs under you while tackling them from behind.

It doesn't say you can't land on the ball carrier's legs. You can't swivel your body and drop your weight on them. Non hip drop tackles from begind happen constantly in every game.

That's one way, yeah. I don't know what games people have been watching. There are a bunch of ways to get a guy to the ground without doing this specific thing.

If you thought this team was bad at tackling before, can't wait for all the "****ING TACKLE HIM!!!" in the game day threads when their only option becomes swiping at the shoelaces.
