2) Slow the player down and wait for help. I don't think anyone's arguing that this could result in a few extra yards. That's no different than essentially every safety-related change they've made to the game, and yet we're all still watching. |

Well, yeah. Especially Tua. Dude is just fragile. Add in the fact that he isn't mobile, can't seem to execute a timing pass with any consistency, is below average throwing outside the numbers . . . he wouldn't have even been good enough to keep as a backup at the time. Probably never gets drafted. |

One of those is Sneed, I believe; he's as fast as it gets in the secondary, so 'taking a better angle,' doesn't really fly for me there. 'Slow the player down and wait for help'? Are you serious? Should he try to make small talk then? Ask him out on a date? |

Again, look at the tape and explain how the defense is supposed to make those tackles? I mean I get it’s a dangerous tackle. What I don’t get is exactly how the defenders are supposed to make those tackles differently without giving up more yards or possibly even a TD. |

This is a pretty interesting video looking at it from a rugby perspective. The main theme is just trying to avoid tackles that put lots of pressure on the knees and lower body. Football is of course a different animal but a lot of interesting thoughts here. Every time I see a guys legs pinned under with upper body twisting I cringe. |

This is a different type of tackle, but the result will be the same. Once or twice a game, a runner might get more yards than they would have before. It's OK. Games will still be fun. |

Another subjective call for refs to make. What could go wrong?

Look, I've said a hundred times that I hate the drop tackle. I'm not advocating for keeping drop tackles. I'm asking, in reference to that clip above, just what are those defenders supposed to do? I get flagging the first one; it's basically exactly the same as the ones in the rugby video. That shit needs to go. But the two I pointed out, and several others in the video, are just tackles, imo. So tell me, just what are they supposed to do in those other cases? |
