Ban the hip drop tackle?

NFL considering it.
Too many injuries.

This guy gets his leg busted.

unlike the horse-collar tackle, this is one that won't be easy to ban, I think. Too many tackles around the waist can turn into that tackle shown above. Maybe more likely, a lightweight high-strength brace to protect the knee laterall, required for rb's, te's, wr's, qb. But that is serious stress on the knee for sure. Similar to how Joe Theisman's knee injury happened.

Maybe it should simply be that you can't tackle a player from behind.
If we keep outlawing various tackle types, there won't be any left. Plus, that gives Refs one more way to rig the game.
I say cut the number of refs on the field to 3.

No we shouldn’t modify the rules for a play that causes a handful of injuries each year.
Tackling is atrocious enough and football is an inherently rough game we don’t need a rule that the refs can misinterpret and just throw their nonsense into another area of the game.
