Football NFL likely banning hip-drop tackle - Page 4

The NFL competition committee has proposed a new rule that would penalize a player with a 15-yard penalty and grant the opposition an automatic first down for using the hip-drop tackle to bring a runner to the ground.

YES! Almost called us a superbowl.

Last year....Ryan Tannehill, Geno Smith, Mark Andrews, Tyreek Hill and Deshaun Watson
Last year... Mahomes and Tony pollard

NFL claims it is 20-25 times more likely to cause injury. A few of these guys have fractured their legs

Easy decision

Yep, I’m cool with banning it.

Like the horse collar, dudes know when they’re doing it and they know it’s dangerous. Every year, thousands of completely legal tackles are made. The league will still thrive without this method.

I can see it now, Derek.Henry breaks out and open field , a D B jumps on his back & ride him all the way to the goal line for a TD, just because he can't drop down tackle him.

It doesn't say he can't do that.

I have no idea how a DB weighing 210 brings down a 275 lb TE running full speed.

I don’t really get the outrage over this.

The defender won’t be allowed to drop his entire body weight on the back of someone’s legs. It’s basically the same motion as a horse collar tackle and no one has any problem with that being illegal.

Defenders can be taught to avoid this pretty easily. You can still tackle from behind, you can still go for the legs, you simply can’t drop your whole body weight on the legs which is obviously a very dangerous movement.

What’s the problem?

Yeah it's a good change. I'm just dreading the really bad calls that that will likely occur this next season or two.

Not sure how this relates to a horse collar tackle.

How the **** do you tackle a runner from behind with this rule?

You don't swivel your legs and drop your body on their legs. It's right there in the rule.

SD15 · 03-20-2024, 08:04 PM

Another rule that requires a judgment call.

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.
