But also imagine being an offensive player and seeing that. I think the video shows that there’s a threat of being over enforced for unintentional hip drop tackles but you also can’t deny that these offensive players bodies are moving very awkwardly. If it does in fact reduce injury it is very worth doing.

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.
