nobody 2,043 Posted March 26 The best part about this story is that it's clear almost no one knows what a hip drop tackle is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 591 Posted March 26 hip drop tackle. when someone grabs the runner with both hands or wraps with both arms and then unweights himself by swiveling or dropping his hips and or lower body and landing on and trapping the runners legs at or below the knee. given the nature, I'd say a very low percentage of your tackles would qualify so I dont anticipate this changes the game much (if at all) but I would imagine that this would have a decent chance of causing an achilles injury if you are landing on the back of the runners legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how you're supposed to tackle someone without dropping your hips. That's just sort of the physical nature of a tackle. I guess you could say it's kind of an extension of the Horse Collar Tackle. Pretty soon it's gonna be that you just can't tackle anyone from behind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobody 2,043 Posted March 26 I remember when they said you couldn't land your body weight on QBs, and everyone freaked out like world class athletes can't shift their body weight as they tackle someone. Somehow quarterbacks were still sacked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,043 Posted March 26 A hip drop is when you grab a guy and swing your body under them and let your body weight help take them down. Banning that specific technique doesn't prevent someone from getting tackled from behind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,460 Posted March 26 Flag football is fun to play, not to watch people play that get paid a lot of money to rough it up. Just another reason not to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted March 26 Horse collar needs to be reinstated, this hip tackle needs to be reinstated, let’s bring that game back to normal, it would be fun to see a DT fall full weight on a Mahomes, he wouldn’t be standing in the pocket before getting rid of the ball nearly as often. Also remove the Mel Blount rule, let the DBs beat up on those wr when they are running routes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
