NFL likely banning hip-drop tackle

[oaklandhater]

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.

Hip drop tackle isn't tackling right because the owners and a bunch of soft fans say it isn't? Ha! Yeah ok....

The people who know me know what level of football I played at chump. The person in this room who hasn't played might just be the one I'm responding to. Your football knowledge is about zero.

Seems like this will make it more difficult to tackle a ball carrier from behind and from a side angle as well.

Moar score. Moar bet. Moar money.

If the NFL can play the safety card while getting the above, they'll drive that square peg right through the round hole and you'll like it.

You guys are making a mountain out of something that isn't.

Each team runs roughly 1,050 plays, so about 33,600 for the year. According to NFL data, this tackle was used 230 times last season. That's less than 1% of all scrimmage plays.

Of those 230 uses, 15 resulted in injury of the player tackled. That's 6.5%.

So it isn't as often used as everyone thinks, it isn't necessary, and it results in a high injury rate.

Players need to take a better pursuit angle and tackle by wrapping up like they were taught.

Tell me how many times you remember this shitty tackle being used in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. It really wasn't. If you can get your hands on them enough to swing you body weight, you can get your hands on them enough to wrap up their legs and take them down without this form.

You're entitled to your opinion.

End of the day the rule is changed and there is nothing I can do about it. It is what it is. I'm just voicing my opinion on here. You don't like it? Oh well.

Injuries are a part of the game. It's unfortunate but it's reality. No one is putting a gun to these guys heads and forcing them to play. Constantly changing the rules to make the game less physical will eventually turn the game into the XFL or arena football league where offenses dominate and defenses are simply an afterthought.

Don't worry the NFL will turn into flag football soon enough. I'm sure you'll be very happy about that.

When you're done showing how much you know about football, read my post above.

It's not you, per se, it's the overall of this thread. Your point was just another on the stack of shit. It's not getting harder, that's the ****ing point.

Whatever the **** Arden Key did bunching up his legs so they purposely landed with full weight on Mahomes' leg in that Jags playoff game, that's the shit I want banned. We're lucky that injury wasn't worse.

Aww, one of the primary Lounge morons has come out to play. I've forgotten more about the game than you could acquire in two lifetimes. Run along little bitch.
