NFL May Ban Hip Drop Tackle

There are several known dirty players that use this technique

 

Yeah I know, they're called the bengals.
Among others.

 

For every move there is a counter move.. should I load up all the videos of RBs , TEs, and Wrs ducking their heads , and using them like battering rams....yet if a D player does the same its flag. This type of tactic of tackling has come about because they keep taking away every other form of tackling....the D has to do something. If they didn't make everything so one-sided...., and take all the other forms of tackling away...this form of tackling may never have come around.

 

Your opinion Cupcake.

 

The game is evolving like it or not. The NFL powers that be are constantly trying to figure out a balance for max profit. It's no secret.

 

It's only a one-sided evolution ....so casual fans will watch. Otherwise for one example: every time a player went helmet to helmet it would be called, and not just when the D does it.

 

I think Warrens pocketbook would rather they throw the flag on the field and leave his money alone. I wonder if the fines are as inconsistent as the flags.

 

IMO....if it's not flagged....it shouldn't be a fine 9 out of ten times. It's almost like they are saying....it's OK during the game, but incase someone bi+<hes about consistency.....here take this fine.

 

Someone has had way too much to drink.

 

I don’t think a flag for a foul means no fine does it?

 

Correct. It just seems to be inconsistent when in real time they don't throw a flag, yet they can comb over every play in slow-mo to deliver fines. Seems like a disconnect between the league office and the officiating crews.

 

Your question does bring up an interesting point though. Do all unnecessary roughness penalties come with fines automatically?

 

Hmmm
Dang good Question. I know I don't know the answer.

 

I’d doubt it. Sometimes the flag should never have been thrown.

 

Then casual fans are the future. Whatever is most profitable is the trend they'll follow. Guys like us won't be here forever. Why do you think the NFL is so focused on Taylor Swift. She brings young fans in numbers the NFL couldn't dream of without her.

 

For those of us old enough to remember it’s like professional wrestling with Bruno Sanmartino vs current WWE fake wrestling comedy acts and showmanship

 

Yes and WWE is probably more popular (profitable) than ever, for ownership.

The Seattle Seahawks uniforms tonight aren't designed for my demographic.

 

I just learned that Artie Burns is still in the league.

 

Those uniforms make me want to barf

When I used to ski with friends I had a thermal shirt underneath similar color

At lunch time at the mid mountain restaurant I would stand on a picnic table and take off my coat and sweater so my friends on the mountain would know where we were having lunch

Then I was cordially invited to put my sweater back on

 

Yes to WWE and profit

 

Careful Snowflake.

 

I never voiced my politics. I was merely pointing out the Politics of the NFL and how they do come into play on the subject of rule changes when it applies to injuries etc.
