Makes sense

Some will bemoan this, and I get it.

But if Horse-collar is banned, so should this

Yeah....seems like this is another one of those "subjective" rules in the eyes of the refs!!

 

[WhizKid]

lol one more thing for the ref to swing a game.

 

[CowboyChris]

you just know we will get flagged for a questionable hip drop at a crucial time in a game

Good news.

 

[MarcusRock]

Good. Not needed in the game.

So if you try to tackle a guy around the waist, and he starts dragging you ....... do you just let go?

I think it’s going to have wiggle room.

The tackle on Pollard in SF is definitely a penalty

Defenses need to learn how to tackle. Tackling 101 since junior high school.

Good! It's long overdue. That cattle wrangling type of "tackling" was breaking legs and tearing too many tendons. Ending careers as well. That's not how you're taught to tackle. The sport of football will be better and safer for it.

Enforcement Rule:
If it happens to a Cowboys player, do not call it.
If a Dallas player finger taps the hip of an opponent, call it.

Especially in a critical part of the game.

This puts smaller defensive players at a disadvantage. Travis Kelce will drag people. Stupid rule

If you have to be dragged, you are not tackling correctly. At that point, either trip them with your hands or possibly lose out on the tackle. It's still no excuse to grab the upper body and lunge your body into a ball carrier's legs.

Oh no.

This rule is going to make this place insufferable.

I can feel the victim mentality building already.
