every year i get closer to being out. how is something thats been a part of the league for 100 years now all of a sudden a major concern? What are defenses supposed to do to tackle someone? At a certain point you just have to admit this is a violent game and injuries are going to happen. Is what it is.

It should be. It's a completely lazy tackle that can, and has, seriously injured players. This kind of tackle form wasn't all that commonplace 15-20 years

Football is dead. Just make it flag. This is getting ridiculous

Good luck trying to enforce this. It’s too open to interpretation, just like the catch rules

Plays violent game, expects zero injuries.

I'll be honest. This might be the last straw for me, my interest has been on the edge the last couple of years anyway

The smaller defensive players need this tackle in their arsenal in order to be effective tacklers. Taking that away from them means a defense is going have to choose between a bigger player who is a competent tackler but likely vulnerable to speed or a faster guy who is likely vulnerable to get ran over.

How are you supposed to tackle someone from behind now?

I really just wish the defenses would just go on strike and really just stand there. They should just watch them run 75 yards for a touchdown on every play. They want offense give it to them!

My prediction still stands. They’ll be wearing flags within a decade

I think this will actually be the “bridge too far” moment for the NFL. WE will see

The NFL sucks now. Can't go high because it might cause a head injury, also can't go low because it might cause a lower body injury.

I fricking hate this shite. Just get rid of the lineman and play flag.
Can't go high can't go low can't wrap up
But the RB can drop his shoulder ad helmet into you and the defender gets a penalty or trucked.
They will not stop.
They make millions of dollars if they play 10 years or 3 it should be enough to live off of responsibly.
The ability to get injured is a factor into why they get such a salary

When do they go to two-hand flag?

What's preventing offensive players from dropping dead weight when they get grabbed from behind to make it look like they're being hip dropped?

Seems like enforcing this would be a nightmare.
