Nzoner's Game Room>NFL likely banning hip-drop tackle
oaklandhater 03:13 PM 03-20-2024

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.

This is the definition of a hip-drop tackle:

Let's ban the quarterback throwing the football while we're at it.

I'm a big offense guy but it is getting pretty ridiculous how careful defensive players have to be in regards to making contact with the ball carrier. All for making the game safer but there is always going to be some risk involved- I look forward to the refs blowing this call in an important situation.

Can't tackle high, can't tackle low, can't hit someone legally too hard, can't drive through a Qb to get them to the ground.

Game will be flag football soon.

I expect them to call this wrong constantly. It'll be a "point of emphasis" and so they'll look so hard they will see it when it isn't there. That said, this will benefit us I think because of all of Mahomes play extending movement. Defenders are already doing everything they can to bring him down. Anything that causes them to hesitate should make him even deadlier.

The pussification of the NFL continues. Defensive player: Hmmm, let me take a minute and decide how to tackle this guy. Oops, he scored. :-)

It is a pretty specific and narrow definition. If they actually keep it to that it might not be all that bad, but I seriously doubt they will. See: roughing the passer.

Yeah - here's a flag that's gonna cause chaos for 2-3 years...

Eventually they'll stop doing it (they didn't start doing it until fairly recently; I think it's essentially the predecessor to that Hawk Tackle shit they used to teach in Seattle). And the league will stop paying much attention to it.

But for a couple years, it's gonna change some outcomes here and there and piss fans off.

At some point the defense has to be able to bring a runner to the ground. I'm not interested in watching if we're going to have 84-81 final scores. Well, unless Patrick puts up 84 in an 84-0 win.

"Proposed". Where does it say "likely"?

Yeah let's bring in more bullshit, game changing penalties that teams won't be able to challenge when the refs decide to call them. The NFL loves a phantom penalty.
