“HipDrop” Tackle being Discussed

[NYJCAP2]

 

[TuscanyTile2]

I think they should just ban tackling altogether.

flag football.

[Darnold's Forehead]

Pathetic

[jeremy2020]

There's too many rules. If it hasn't already, it's getting close to the point that there's so many rules around how you can hit that it's making it more likely to cause injury to players than protect them from it. 

[Barry McCockinner]

they're really determined to ruin this game, aren't they?

[peebag]

With the Jets being horrific as well as the overall play of the clown show that is the NFL, it wouldnt take much for me to stop watching\caring anymore.

[greasyt]

Give me a break.  At some point during Goodell's tenure the effort to protect the integrity and purity of the game has drastically waned........We all know it's a business, but the owners and league big- wigs have become ever so blatant about their decision making and how it relates to raking in the dough.

Never knew Hip Drop was a thing.   So hard to bring these guys down.  I dont see it as being bad/harmful.

If they really just enforced late hits, unnecessary roughness etc. That would be a big step.

And of course these rules will be strictly enforced against the Jets only. Like that phantom horse collar in Miami.

Can’t wait for Woody to tweet about it

Serious question: If you were a billionaire megalomaniac (like woody), would you be ok with a 21 year old intern tweeting in your name? 
 

This is why I laugh when people say “you know that’s not woody, right” this scenario makes it even worse than the dumbass actually doing the tweet. Tells you a lot about where we are as an organization.

[BP]

Let me just add that Lawrence Taylor became a hall of famer doing this literally hundreds of times and snapped Joe theismans leg like a twig doing it 35 years ago. He would get a flag on almost every play.

[Dunnie]

How about this ...  Go back to the 1970s when the rule was ... Run faster than the guy trying to kill you and conversely ... bring the ball carrier to the ground be any means necessary.

There is a reason this sport is different than college football.

Derrick Henry and players like that are hard enough to tackle without putting more restrictions on the defense. 

[Dunnie]

Lets see what the ratings are for this weekends Flag Football 7 on 7 games ... absolutely and exploratory operation.

Seems like the Jets have already. At least against TEs and RBs

Could they do that  on the way to getting me some sammiches?

[the Claw]

Hows about we figure out roughing the passer and hitting out of bounds first? I would rather see a ban on tackling below the knees before I see this happening.

Just another random rule that can be used to alter the result that the criminals desire to have fixed-and yes BP, it seems that Woody's teams are always getting screwed over by the zebras with this kind of stuff

Yeah I’m not sure what’s worse tbh lol

[rangerous]

Just another dumb rule being contemplated. I will say that there should be more attention to those pile driver type hits where the defender physically picks up the ball carrier and drives him into the turf.

The more rules ... the more ways to control the outcome.

Have the same felling about MLB. By the way, has anyone ever seen Goodell and Manfred in the same place?

True, I honestly don’t know exactly what makes a tackles a high drop tackle, seems just like grabbing a guy by the waist and dragging him down. It’s nuts to think they are taking that out of the game. Gonna end up defender going to be running to the all carrier and stop to think exactly what they can and can’t do. I understand the need to protect players but this seems to make no sense except to either ruin or make the games more controllable by the refs. 

[undertow]

Giving these idiot refs more things to think about isn't the best way to fix officiating.

[SAM SAM HE'S OUR MAN]

The NFL continuing to pussify the sport .

... and if there was ever any doubt ...

[Hex]

I would say yes if it is determined that getting rid of it will significantly lower injuries. Otherwise it's just making the game wimpier.

[PS17]

I’ve never even heard of this tackle. 

[Dunnie]

I want to know how you are bringing Derrick Henry down from behind without using your body weight.

I thought that said hip hop tackles

Sent from the NY Jets /Zack Wilson Suicide Watch desk.

[UntouchableCrew]

Football is a violent game. You'll never be able to legislate injuries out of it.
