NFL Officially bans hip drop tackle
-
Despite objections from players and union.
It seems like a terrible idea. I suppose a defender could just try just going for the legs. If the hip drop is the only way of keeping the receiver out of the end zone, then it's gonna happen every time anyway. Take the penalty.

This is not gonna end well..In fact.. I see it being reversed by mid season...

It should be. Unlike spearing with the helmet, many of these "hip drop" tackles look harmless.
A 15yd penalty for a tackle that was harmless ain't gonna sit well with fans.

Typical case of management ignoring the work force.
NFL owners want points scored, bottom line.
The game we grew up loving is close to not being recognizable.

especially if that penalty effect's the out come of a game that you had money on. I mean millions are bet every week and that Bullshit is not gonna go over well with some of them who needed that win. I wonder how long it will take to find a ref in a back alley with a bullet in his head.

I clearly understand the anger, but I don't think it would ever come down to someone shooting a ref,.
This aint soccer.

lol I know, Those hooligans would just shoot the poor fuck on the field. Now someone from let's say from a checkered past ( to put it politely) ended up on the short end of the stick ? Especially when maybe a call from New York comes down to alter the point spread( not on who win's or not)I mean c'mon we know it happens

It's gotten to the point of this hip drop tackle penalty could start getting smaller db's injured when trying to stop a
big power rb in the open field, te..... maybe they should ban defensive backs tackling above the
rb/te's waist. I don't know - we'll see how it goes, but I think it's not going to be good. Maybe they should just require a specially designed knee brace and require it on the field or some thing.... (probably been tried ...)

A lot of good the new safety rules did for Nick Chubb's knee. What a bargain that was if you're the Steelers. Take out the opposing teams best player, maybe forever, and all you get is a 15 yard penalty. Great job making the NFL safer.
Want to make the NFL safer? How about making it a illegal to go for a player's knees if he's stacked up at the LOS and has lost all his forward momentum. Or at least make it legal that if he does, we as fans can go into the field and behead the bastard.
This is a barbaric sport, go back to the old rules and let these guys have at it, or put flags on them. They already effectively took away jobs of returnees like Devin Hester and Josh Cribbs who's main skills were returning kicks.

They just fixed that with the new kickoff rules in the last week or so. There's going to be more returns and more injuries.

You're as big an idiot over here as you are over there, except nobody here notices it.
For starters there wasn't a penalty on that play. The Stealer LB wasn't fined either, in case you may have thought that too.
Then as I have pointed out to you before, you proceed to talk out of both sides of your mouth. On one side you babble about making the game safer, immediately followed by conceding to the fact that football is a violent game so they may as well "have at it".
Take a stand you clown. You people must do that in order to have all bases covered, so as to never be wrong.
As to your brilliant idea, the refs whistle is a glaring indication that forward progress has stopped. It is already illegal to go after a player's knees or anywhere else after the whistle has been blown.
Get ready, Neo will come try to spin and go off in different tangents to try to rationalize his gem of a post.

The point I was making is all the rules changes they have made over the years and there is still a mountain of injuries every year. Concussions, torn ACL's, I'm all for making the game safer but you're never going to make the game completely safe. It seems the this new rule change isn't popular with the players. Pretty soon the game isn't going to be recognizable.

You keep it up, and he'll be forced to change his handle again. ?

This is not gonna end well..In fact.. I see it being reversed by mid season...
Rules don't change mid season. If anything it just won't be called. I hope it isn't called on everything. If you see the defender rolling up on the legs of a player, sure, call it. Kind of the same deal why they now call horsecollars. Players can get hurt, but I can see refs having to make all these subjective calls getting way out of hand.
I'd rather see it a non penalty foul and make it a fineable foul.
