& this is how injuries occur on the other side. I’ve literally seen defenders stuck, worrying about tackling, get absolutely trucked. Again, the vast majority of these rule changes are geared towards offensive players. It’s almost impossible to play defense. How many QBs have escaped sacks b/c...

I see. Lol

R u a Ravens’ fan?

Facts.

Bro, same here. I was wiry strong, but thin af. I can’t tell u enough how my coach would be yelling “wrangle that bull, young man! There we go!” Lol I fa sho did the hip drop tackle w/o even a second thought.

Correct, which is **** near impossible. So when we start seeing an influx of missed tackles or guys getting drug for an extra 5-8 yrds, we’ll know why. But, then what’s going to happen after players start suffering shin & ankle issues as defenders wrap around their ankles to bring them down or...

Exactly; they got these dudes complaining about the type of turf the NFL is using, tearing ACLs & MCLs at an astronomical rate, yet the NFL says naw. Then u have players complaining playing on Sundays & then again on a Thursday, & the NFL says naw. Then u have players not too thrilled traveling...

Agree w/ u, however, being I’ve played tackle football from Pop Warner through HS (& was **** good at it), it’s a natural progression. My cousin is 2x bigger than me, & played D1 ball at Army b4 becoming full military; in practice he came right at me as he played full back in Pop Warner & I...

Respectfully, Rugby & AFL r two totally different sports. It’s like a mixture of Futbol & Football. Also, these guys are scrumming, and their rules r similar but quite different than American Football. Plus, these dudes are wearing zero gear, so it would make sense why they have the rules they...

Exactly. Let’s call it what it is; the NFL & the NBA have both been slanting its rules to gear towards high, productive offenses under the guise of player safety & player movement (respectively). These rules are hampering the defense, not player safety, but it’s quite fine for a defender to...

Annnnnd, it’s amazing how these rules take place after a star player gets injured: -Illegal to tackle a QB below the knees while in the pocket. *Tom Brady gets injured vs. KC -Illegal for horse collar tackle. *Terrell Owens gets injured vs. Dallas -Illegal to hip drop tackle. *Mark Andrews...

Listen; I’m all for player safety, but this is bull ****. Running backs can run full speed, dropping their shoulder & helmet into a stationed defender looking to make a play, blow them up, concussing them, & it’s all good. A hip drop tackle is a natural tackle. When someone is dragging u, u...
