NFL meeting to ban hip drop tackles.. (Update: Now banned)
Listened to Moving the Chains earlier, Pat didn’t believe the officials would have a problem enforcing the rules correctly. He mentioned that they have referees participating on the competition committee that offer feedback on how effective a new rule will be as written, and the consensus was that they would be able to recognize these illegal tackles without much issue. Usually Pat is up in arms when he doesn’t like something the league is doing, so I don’t think this will be as much of an issue as some think.
