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.

They already have.................

Back to topic...the refs are losing the battle already trying to interpret the already too many rules in place. Lets just keep adding subjective rules to the mix, surely the refs will get better [Reply]
So once again, this happens to us in a playoff game two years ago and nobody cares. Mahomes plays on one leg through three games including the Super Bowl because of it, and nobody feels any need to change NFL rules. Did this happen to a non-Chief or something? [Reply]

What you are describing isn't a hip drop tackle or the definition. I'm not saying they'll get it right, but putting your weight on a player from behind is still legal. [Reply]
Was the tackle that Sneed attempted to make on the last 49ers touchdown a hip drop tackle? He grabbed him and dropped his weight didn't he? If so, well it didn't work anyway... [Reply]

I never understood this interpretation as if watching replacement players throw and catch is a better alternative. I hate that the interpretation of the rule is gonna probably be botched. But keeping good players on the field is a million times better than them being hurt.
Last year's playoffs watching mahomes vs Allen and lamar and Purdy... That's way more beautiful than not regulating tackling. [Reply]

The NFL has been trying to play flag football for years. [Reply]
