Football NFL likely banning hip-drop tackle - Page 6

Another rule that requires a judgment call.

KCUnited · 03-20-2024, 08:16 PM

Pretty much can’t tackle someone from behind without pushing them forward

If they’re moving forward and you grab them from behind, and weigh less, your only option is to pretty much to drop your weight and their legs are likely to be under you

So the Donny Edwards drag 5+ yards rule

The should’ve just shot him in the leg rule

Now, I'm afraid I'll be watching nothing but "Flag Football" before I die. This generation is getting so Soft.

Yeah, these pussies can't even be a man and play through broken fibulas

Yeah they may be soft, but they are exponentially bigger, faster, stronger and more explosive than the old generation by a huge margin. If they played like they did in the 70s there would be far more injuries.

The game isn’t the same.

Good Lord, can you imagine if Aaron Donald had the freedom those guys used to have? He'd kill 1 or 2 guys a season.

Yet another penalty that can be called, or not called, whenever it needs to be called.

Or not called.

I hear where most of you are coming from but I'm not sure I disagree with it. Seems like some defenders do it with the intent of injuring. I still feel like Arden Key's tackle on Mahomes in the Jacksonville playoff game last year was an example of intent to injure. You could tell by the way he threw his full weight on Pat's legs that it was sneaky dirty. Thank God Mahomes is tough as nails.

What the ****!?

jdubya · 03-20-2024, 10:30 PM

Depends on conditions right? Sloppy wet fields vs dry. This is so "Beta".....Good Lord

I love this place but this will get me downvoted quickly.....

Mahomes is the king of running to the sidelines but when defenders pull up to not drill the **** out of him...he sprints for another 3-7 yards up the sideline. On another play if a player touches his helmet......a flag is thrown for hurting his "something" I guess

This almost never happens. And the whole pulling up thing is pretty much bullshit, too. All they have to do is push him out of bounds. They would not get flagged. They're just not finishing the play. Or they have a bad angle.

At the end of the day these rules help keep the best players on the field and I'd rather watch the best players play a slightly less brutal form of football than watch a bunch of back ups.

In the broader sense I would agree but some of the "best players" have been backups that seized an opportunity in the wake of the starter getting seriously hurt.

Guys get hurt, will always get hurt, will never stop getting hurt.

You will never get rid of injuries, but you can reduce them.

I think we can mostly agree that players should not play through serious concussions. As long as you enforce that rule the defense gets a huge advantage because they can hit stick a player out of the game. People can get mad about defenseless WR rules all they want but to me it's a cheap way to win games by knocking great players out. And that is only 1 game. Even more important when you lose guys for the whole season or ruin careers.

18 teams last year finished the season with a backup qb starting due to injury.hard to imagine how anyone think that is less of a problem than not seeing a few guys tackle freely
