I think egregious examples will be more likely called. Borderline way less. I liken it to blatant chop blocks vs incidental. Can’t call a butchering until it’s illegal. Otherwise clotheslining would be fundamentally taught.I feel like there’s going to be a lot of ambiguity with the “Hip drop tackle ban” resulting in a lot of headaches for both viewers and players/personnel.
I don't think it's that ambiguous. No more than horse collars. There's a lot of over reactions out there today because people aren't looking at what it is. Those folks are assuming it's just low tackling.I feel like there’s going to be a lot of ambiguity with the “Hip drop tackle ban” resulting in a lot of headaches for both viewers and players/personnel.

If it wasn't a significantly increased risk of injury it wouldn't get any attention. But owners don't like seeing their star players get hurt if it can be avoided.
The hip drop tackle rule will probably be the dagger for me as far as pro sports. You sign up and make that money knowing the risk. I say cut salaries too
Envy and jealousy? LolLOL, why? The RB's already have the lowest salaries and most injuries. Why do you even care how much they make? It's no sweat off your sack. Reeks of envy and jealousy.
Whether or not they understood the risk when they signed up has no bearing on if the risk should be reduced.
Q: "Should we put seat belts in cars?"
A: "Why? Drivers understand the risk...."

It was proposed to get the ball at the 35 if the kickoff went into the endzone to entice kickers not to kick a touchback, the rules committee pushed it back to the 30. They should have left it at the 35, other than that i love it.A few clowns on here ripped me for liking the XFL rule last year and now the NFL has pretty much adopted what they were doing. I believe it’s a smart move that will save kickoffs as part of the game.
