NFL meeting to ban hip drop tackles.. (Update: Now banned)
GOOD!!!!!!!
That type of move is NOT tackling!!! It's a lazy shortcut to bring the ball carrier down by any means necessary. The over reaction to this decision is just that. Hip drop tackles are not a common occurrence during a NFL game, you may see one happen out of 16 games played. The players are not coached to perform this move and it's great that the NFL have moved to rid this RARE move from the game before it became commonplace. (y)
