Re: Merged Thread: NFL Bans Drop Hip Tackles
not hip drop tackle AND fall on them. The new rule actually allows hip drop tackles as long as you don't land on the players legs. There will be a bit of a learning curve on this for both players and refs. It's exactly like when they outlawed, correctly, the horse collar tackle. Early in the season you saw a bunch of calls on this by the refs. But by mid season there were very few. Why? Because PLAYERS STOPPED USING THE HORSE COLLAR. As they will with the hip drop. Stop the whining.
