NFL Officially bans hip drop tackle
-
When I think of the anger behind the Hip drop, I think of hip-hop and the words of Mos Def - "Why did one straw break the camels back, here's the secret, the million other straws beneath it"
(that's mathematics, by the way. For anyone who appreciates great lyrical talent)
It isn't *just* this in a vacuum. It's all the stuff that has punished defenses for bad offensive play the last 15 years. That is what has some of us miffed.
-
Kind of what I was getting at with all the subjective calls the refs have to make in a split second. What's considered a blow to the head by one ref is considered incidental contact by another. I am no fan of refs but they are put in a bad position by the rules committee. As Flugs pointed out, players can't always hit, lift, and drive to make the perfect tackle.
-
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.
What does "FY" stand for? I'm convinced it's "Fuck You". And 56, is that your age or your IQ?

Sorry so late getting back to you, but then again you were never anyone's priority.
No FY doesn't stand for Fuck You, nor Fiscal Year, nor Forever Yours...but funny how you would anticipate it meant Fuck You because you're so used to hearing that from everyone you've ever had contact with.

Medical science is making life difficult for the league. You can't ignore a concussion anymore and just give the player a whiff of smelling salts because of those damned brain imaging machines!
I remember way back in high school...some of us thought that it was kinda' barbaric of our coaches teaching how to crack back and block a defense end at the knees from the blind side. They were teaching HS kids how to injure other HS kids. KIDS!!
The league is going to have to continue to make rule changes to make the game safer. Not because 'the league' really gives a rats ass about the well being of the player...but because they need 'players' in the pipeline.

Great points! But will they make the right changes? Bring the rules back to what they were in the 70s and 80s
The rule changes to promote more scoring for higher TV ratings has put more players in space. We never saw this excessive volume of injuries in the 70s and early 80s. There was far more scrimmage action resembling the closer proximities of opposing players PRE-collision like rugby. Also, in rugby - there's no helmets so guess what isn't ever used as a weapon? The crown of the helmet. Consequently, there's far less incidence and prevalence of concussions. Rugby is a violent sport; but it's set up to limit things that the NFL is having trouble restricting.
When Rodger doesn't want to see his officiating crews calling a lot of holding penalties, passers get longer time to throw perpetuating how attractive it is to get Receivers in space. What happens in space? Run-up collisions where the physics don't favor player safety. As the 40 times get faster everywhere - the run-up collisions get more violent from the physics of it all. And what happens when a guy like Gronk or Kelsey has/had the speed of a WR?
I loved football in the 70s and 80s. We weren't losing about 4-5 starters seemingly every week like we have in recent years. If you played fantasy football in the last few years or so - you'd see that wasn't exclusive to the Browns. Backs like Leroy Kelly, Greg Pruitt, Mike Pruitt, Walter Payton, Earl Campbell, etc were really fun to watch. A few decades later we'd see James Harrison queuing up Josh Cribbs or MoMass looking in a pass over the middle greeted with the crown of his helmet. And that guy had the neck circumference of an oak tree.

I don’t fully understand the nuances on this one quite yet. I get the concern for player safety, but there’s always an underlying irony to this sort of stuff.
The job of something like 90% of a football team is to manhandle other dudes. And after something like 100 years of this game they’re realizing that certain manhandling is worse than other manhandling.
It’s essentially micromanaging manhandling.

There are 2 songs on “Nevermind” where the drums kick off with a heavy snare roll, Territorial Pissings, and Breed is the other. Those are the barnburners on that album.

Kind of reminds me of some football video game my kid had when he was young. You could make the player have this huge head...lol....some of you probably remember...I don't remember the name of the game anymore.
