(Getty Images) (Patrick Smith/Getty Images) ORLANDO — The NFL banned the hip-drop tackle Monday, prohibiting a technique league leaders said is unusually hazardous to players. The team owners, at the annual league meeting, voted unanimously to ratify the prohibition that had been proposed by the rulemaking competition committee, with input from NFL health and safety officials. The new rule defines a hip-drop tackle as occurring when a tackler grabs a ballcarrier with both hands or wraps the runner with both arms, swivels and “unweights” himself by leaving the ground, then falls on the back of the ballcarrier’s lower leg or legs. Such tackles now will be subject to 15-yard penalties during games and potential fines afterward. “We’ve spent a lot of work on this tackle,” said Atlanta Falcons chief executive Rich McKay, the chairman of the competition committee. “We came last year close to saying maybe it was time to put a rule in. We wanted to see if the technique [would] continue. Do we have a problem? And the answer is yes. So that led to the rule. We worked hard on the language. We did use a good bit of the rugby language that they put in to outlaw this tackle.” The members of the competition committee were unanimous in supporting the proposed ban ahead of Monday’s ratification vote by the owners. Committee members met here Sunday with Richie Gray, a rugby coach, about the hip-drop tackle being banned in certain rugby leagues. The NFL’s ban takes effect next season. The league is enacting it over the objection of the NFL Players Association.
Tomorrow Cal will go from Chairman/CEO to Owner. Been a damn good owner in the mean while. Dre in the HOF, new unis, we know Nick isn't done tinkering. I'm so ****ing jacked for this season! Let's ****ing win!!
Ravens are the most overrated team in the NFL right now. I also think the Dolphins at #6 is too high. On the AFC South, ESPN is pretty much on-the-money ranking the Texans way ahead of the others. I don't know if the Titans should be all the way down at #25. IMO, they'll only be that bad if Levis totally flames out.
