NFL meeting to ban hip drop tackles.. (Update: Now banned)

I don't have numbers, but I don't recall any of those things being common before the rule changes.

But, honestly, artificial turf causes more lower leg and head injuries than any of the things they have outlawed, with the possible exception of targeting, and they won't do anything about that because of money.
Yep....that's been my thing.
They are talking about player safety, yet we still have turf on half of the fields and they were thinking about adding another game. The computers ain't computing.
