    So, diving for their ankles is the only choice. When running forward, the only way to anchor yourself is to go to the ground.

    It's pretty simple.
    Don't let them possess the ball from the get go.

    This is a f**k joke. The reason this became big is because they took away others tackling options, and now they take this away. Stupid

    Literally making it impossible to tackle people. I wouldnt even want to play defense if I was choosing a position.

    I'm pretty sure you won't get every onside kick.

    Well yeah true. I can't play in the NFL because of my PED intake
    If i were to kick an onside I would bunch the kicking team closer to the hashmarks and try to linedrive it off of the head hands ass of the front

    Vontaze Burfict is responsible for this. I have no doubt he did it to maim and injure just like he did to LB here:

    What happens when a big RB meets a little DB and starts dragging the DB for more yards and the DB hanging on for his life brings the RB down from behind 10 yards later. Hip-Drop?

    I was going to write the same thing here. He purposely hurt LB and I believe tacitly admitted that he was trying to take him out.

    Wouldn't it have been good if Burfict wasn't allowed to kill LB like that? Could have been #7...

    Agree that it’s a borderline dirty move, but these guys are getting bigger and faster. How else to bring them down?

    Derrick Henry goin for 2k again confirmed?!


    Ideally Id want Najee but I doubt the Steepers give him that much of a percentage of the snaps.

    Maybe they can make the 60 minutes go from 3 hours to 4 hours with more penalties. More ad money.

    I think what they want is to eliminate that swing across the back of the legs. we've seen some really bad injuries from that and some defenders are actually trying to land on the legs.

    It's all fine and dandy until it's one of your star players taken out by an intentional drop hip tackle across the legs.

    no - drop and tackle the knees, thighs, ankles - like we ALL USED TO DO AS KIDS

    it's not that complicated.

    and yes - CB's will have problems tackling guys 2x their size, it is supposed to be that way

    Just do flag football already. Bunch of p.... are running the league. It's not just the owner, these coaches are voting for this dumb crap as well.
