So you're telling me when I launch my little body at Mr. Henry's waist and he trucks me so hard I end up flying around his body while clinging to his ass cheeks for dear life and landing on his legs, I get a 15 yard penalty? |

So early on you make a bunch of mistakes enforcing the rule but over time defenses will figure out how to tackle differently and refs will find the happy medium. |

Some of those tackles . . . well, I ask you, just what are those defenders supposed to do? The ball-carrier is getting past them; are they just supposed to let the guy run by them because they might end up 'drop-tackling' them?
Personally, I'm not a fan of the drop tackle. but we live in an age where everyone on a football field knows the risks and is required to be able to protect themselves, except defensive players. Defensive players must also protect offensive players, that are doing their level best to make tackling them as hard as possible (for what should be obvious reasons). Man, I miss the days when nearly (punters/kickers excepted) all players were responsible for their own safety. The double standard, with increasing bias against the defense, is going to eventually kill this game. |

I mean, how do you even enforce something like that looking at those examples? Yet another 'subjective' call we're going to willingly put in the hands of borderline incompetent officials to call whenever they 'feel' like calling it. And, of course, it won't be reviewable. Yea. Another way to piss off fanbases and make game deciding calls on complete B.S. This will end well for the NFL and the fans. |

It looks over enforced because it is over enforced. The NFL obviously wanted more offense/scoring so they began creating all these penalties against the defense, and now, well, here we are.
This isn't some fleeting thing; it's getting worse. And it's significantly effecting how the game is played. We've got QBs being coached to fake slide, then try to take off, putting defenders in an impossible bind, so they hesitate. In a game where hesitation is a sin. JFC, in the last few years we've had how many flags for 'tackling too hard'? People complain about poor tackling and overall defensive play, but conveniently omit the fact that defenses are being asked to not only do their jobs at an NFL level, but also do more to protect offensive players than they do for themselves. It's freaking stupid. |

The best thing the nfl can do is to keep great players on the field to the best of their ability. And this is a very big problem for the nfl right now. Soft tackling is WAY better to watch than Blaine gabbert playing for a month or longer. |

It's only going to get worse unless the fans come together to tell their owners to vote in the interest of the game of football rather than their own self interest.
All it takes to get a rule change is for a few nerds to deliver a PowerPoint with some graphs that show X play causes injuries every year. Then the owners natural response is "Injuries? Hell I don't like injuries. We had too many of them last year. Let's change the rule damnit!". |
