NFL bans 'hip drop' tackle

It’ll be like most rules and they’ll throw flags for first 4 games and it might affect a game.

But most likely it’ll be used for retrospective fines and not flags.

It’s not like they got rid of extra points (they should) or changed the OT to more college like rules (I’d also say is better).

If the goal is just to stop players from doing it, why make it anything other than a fine?

I think that's mostly what's going to happen. I don't think you'll see it called in games much. I also think you'll see the NFL in preseason holding meetings with players about specifically what it is to get the players to stop using the technique.

That's pretty hip.

Wait, no it's not.

No, it is.

No, it's not.

I'm so confused.
