Pretty much can’t tackle someone from behind without pushing them forward
If they’re moving forward and you grab them from behind, and weigh less, your only option is to pretty much to drop your weight and their legs are likely to be under you So the Donny Edwards drag 5+ yards rule |

If you thought this team was bad at tackling before, can't wait for all the "****ING TACKLE HIM!!!" in the game day threads when their only option becomes swiping at the shoelaces.

It is important to note with the hip drop rule that this isn’t a ban of grabbing the ball carrier’s legs from behind or even grabbing them high, the defender simply can’t begin by grabbing the ball carrier high and then dropping down onto the legs. I really don’t think it’ll be as hard to eliminate from the game as it sounds and I don’t think there will be many noticeable changes. |

The danger of a horse collar tackle and the danger of a hip drop tackle are both the legs being trapped beneath body weight. In both instances, the ball carrier will fall backwards awkwardly and have their legs trapped beneath them. They are very closely related plays. |

Was just reading more about this and I'm seeing the the NFLPA doesn't want it. Thinks it's too hard on the defending player. I think the league is gonna go ahead anyway because they don't want to have stars unavailable for the playoffs if they can help it.

Yet another penalty that can be called, or not called, whenever it needs to be called.
Or not called. |

Good Lord, can you imagine if Aaron Donald had the freedom those guys used to have? He'd kill 1 or 2 guys a season.
