Hawkins last comment is key. The owners will ban things the players do, fine the players for doing things, but they don't want to do anything that would require them to open their pocket books up and spend money to remove astroturf and make the fields safe to play on, something that would actually safeguard the players.
The tackle they are banning is stated to be when the tackler lands on the opponents legs, feet, and ankles. They are looking at the actual landing on the opposing player as opposed to just tackling. I know the refs won't be consistent on it.

Ok I see you don't know what the play is their banning, the tackle their banning is when the defender drops his full body weight down on the offensive players lower extremities. The tackle you brought up is how you execute a hip drop tackle, not once did he drop his body weight on the defenders legs. This is why I don't understand what all the whining is about, when 15 players are injured due to one specific type of tackling then yeah it needs to go.
@@34blackula actually that IS the play that they’re banning. Compare that play to the play where Tony Pollard was injured by a hip drop tackle against the 49ers. It is literally the exact same play, you can actually see Dyson’s leg being pinned under Jones just like Pollard was pinned under Ward. The only difference is the manner in which the players fell over, which is something that you can’t control when a play is happening as quickly as that. The chances of Dyson being hurt on that play were the same as Pollard’s chances.
@@xacex6944 That's a lie, go look at that tackle again and tell me that he's landing on Dyson's legs at all. He grabbed him by the waist and brought him down without any parts of his body being laid across Dyson's legs. The defender literally flopped right down onto TP's ankle on that tackle. Most of the defender's body was on the ground when he made the tackle on Dyson, at no point was his entire torso laying across Dyson's legs.
The league wants more offense. Thanks a lot casual fans. All of the complaining you did about games being too boring, paid off. Now you’ll get your 41-38 games 5-6 times a week. You helped destroy the game

I just don’t wanna see all offense like you said that gets boring. I get frustrated like will somebody stop somebody.
The hip drop tackle is actually good tackling technique. It’s not like launching into guys or doing something stupid it’s proper tackling technique it’s just dumb to remove it.
It's not there's far better techniques being taught. Rugby style tackling is being taught at every level now. I've coached for years in the state of Texas and it's the only technique I've taught since going to clinics and watching instructional videos.

He meant to say a 20x-25x higher injury risk. He misspoke and said % instead of times initially. Just a Freudian slip, and he cleared it up at the end.
Exactly, 25% higher injury rate does not mean 25x the injury rate. People need to get some basic math skills because that is an error that makes it out to be 100x worse than it actually is. And that's the real math
@@Chris62492 That's not true. Your math is wrong. It is 1.25x higher injury risk. That is how math works. That's a big difference from 25x. It's not a misquote, it's people that can't pass 4th grade math

I'd rather them just get rid of kickoff completely for player safety! There is no such thing as a kickoff return anymore, which was one of the best parts of the game, and not there won't be any suplexes or even tackling! Thank you, sports betting. 😢
If you’ve never played tackle football in your life you won’t understand how hard this will make it for the defense to take someone down with so many other rules already limiting them.

Exactly!!! Now that the hip drop is illegal , they'll move on to the next clear most dangerous tackle and that'll of course have to be removed as well!!! Why don't we just stop Fing around and just make it non contact flag football now instead of waiting???
I've watched football for many years and as Shannon said, "never saw this tackle" until recently. Players were taught to tackle from behind by attempting to wrap up the legs of the ball carrier or at least trip him from behind.
For him saying he never saw that in his time playing that’s because 20 years ago they can literally hit anybody any kind of way with no real penalty lol dudes out of touch
@@chrisjacobs9101 so far out of touch! Things were a lot worse when Shannon played and he knows it! I can understand all the headshots! This is stupid 👎🏾👎🏾
In my opinion the NFL and its owners don’t make rule changes for player safety. They make rules to protect their “investments.” Safer is just a bi product. They could care less about players but more about assets that they don’t view as people. Aka players
the defensive players need to just endlessly take end shots on the offense. if you're gonna get 15 yards and a penalty every single play make it worth it by taking talent from the other team.
Forreal, I don't like getting too conspiracy theory, but after all this bullsht is hard not to Every single game is gonna have a lot of controversial calls/non-calls
@@MHNK77same. I used to hate when people say it’s all rigged but if the upcoming SBs have momentum changing penalties because of “illegal” tackles… I’m going to start wondering lmao
How obvious do they have to make it. The owners can bet MILLIONS on their own teams losing. They tell the coach to lose a game in the middle of season like the dolphins and make millions off it while their fans suffer
Hey this is a league where everyone is fine with cheating. Steroids is Cheating etc. They are gonna make this game so bland that you might as well watch the pee wee league.
Put this in perspective. 30-40 years ago, did you see this tackle much? No. Tom Brady's words of the League becoming mediocre includes these mediocre tackle techniques. I agree with this rule because this is one aspect where the league and players in the league have chosen to become lazy. This tackling method is junior high at best. It does not belong in the league. When I played pop warner I was never taught to tackle this way. Whatever happened to tackling the right way with force. I was always taught to have head up attack a leg around the hips, wrap up and drive through the tackle. I was not taught to be a pansy and use this pathetic, weak, sissy tackling method. That's exactly what it is. Tackling the right way is still allowed in the league, so do it. This method is causes injury, which is backed up by their scientific data and analytics. Why are these players reacting this way? I don't know. Tackling a player does NOT mean trying to injure and hurt him. This tackling technique causes injury, so stop it. If you care about your players, the team and the league, stop it. If you don't, don't. There are many players who do try to hurt other players intentionally. But no one wants to talk about that elephant. Or the elephant that retaliatory tackles and behavior exist in the league, on teams that hurt and injure players and affects their livelihoods and careers. But let's not talk about that. This ban brings respectability back to the league in a measure. Mel Blount, MIKE SINGLETARY, Lawrence Taylor, and Ronnie Lott would be happy with this ban. Put a shoulder in the gut of a player, with your head up, drive through him with force and tackle him. What's so hard about that?
It's a choice. Yes, it is. Stop doing it. You may be the player who gets injured and hurt and ends your career and earning potential to provide for your family.
I can't watch anymore. The NFL is done as far as I am concerned. They say it's for safety but what about the gambling and it's effects ? Sports Entertainment not Sports Competition.
@@marcusbriggs3223 facts , the NFL would rather create new rules yearly before addressing the issue that creates the most injuries and that players are most vocal about.. it's tragic 😔

Attaching football helmet to the shoulder pads & shoulder pads strapped across the torso could: ¹) Reduce the centrifugal-force experienced to the head from any direction on the football field. ²) Might lessen speed of brain before hitting inside skull.
This is how you have to tackle from behind now.... (1)Simply run full speed (2) While running full speed you must leep in the air like Goldberg (3) While in the air you must preform what's know as an RKO grab the ball carrier's helmet as something to secure the tackle 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
@@joshf-w9602wrap the legs? U mfs are 🤡s🤣🤣🤣🤣 wtf do u not understand football is a game of inches every yards counts nobody got time to be gettin dragged holding on for dear life holding on to someones ankles
I'm always amazed at how NFL fans want to see guys get hurt. The tackle is dangerous period. If you have to literally sit on a guys ankle to take him down then it's safe to say you need to learn how to tackle. Shannon is the only guy with common sense on this panel.
The league wants more offense. As long as offenses have more opportunities to score points, that’s what they really care about. If it was truly about safety, they’d get rid of artificial turf, but owners don’t directly save money by allowing hip drop tackles.
Tbh I don’t play the game of football but one thing I would say to balance out that rule is to allow pushing in the back to disrupt the forward momentum since you can’t tackle to kill before momentum.
I don't believe the 25x to 30x more dangerous stat. Season ending lower extremity injuries can happen on any play with or without contact: Achilles tear, ankle sprain, calf injury, knee ligament tear, severe hamstring strains. It's dishonest to say 25x more dangerous and impossible to quantify.
That's not what Shannon said. He did not say that there was as 25x or 30x higher injury rate from that specific action. That would be insane. He said that it was a 25 to 30 percent higher chance of injury from that specific type of action. Massive difference.
Happy or not with the changes you'll still watch and that's all the nfl needs from any fans. 25% is 10% too much; most people complaining don't even understand what the tackle does to someone's body paired with momentum and the weight of two men
Owners 97% them dont even like football if they did they be gm dont even run team why hire people to 😂Elon musk run Telsa he vision Nfl owners not even pick players old Europeans dont know football only Jerry jones involved who he want

Ultimately ruins the product on the field.
Since they passed this rule, I recommend taking away any automatic first downs! just mark off the yardage and play the down over. You know, give something back to the Defense. I was a DB in high school many years ago.
I started playing rugby in college and adjusted to an incredibly different dynamic of tackling that required way more technique than football. I'm pretty sure the top 1% athletes in the world can figured out how to properly tackle someone by wrapping up. Might cause a lot more ankle twists and calf pulls, but that's on the league.

This is why I don't understand what all the whining is about, when 15 players are injured due to one specific type of tackling then yeah it needs to go.
@@34blackula actually that IS the play that they’re banning. Compare that play to the play where Tony Pollard was injured by a hip drop tackle against the 49ers. It is literally the exact same play, you can actually see Dyson’s leg being pinned under Jones just like Pollard was pinned under Ward. The only difference is the manner in which the players fell over, which is something that you can’t control when a play is happening as quickly as that. The chances of Dyson being hurt on that play were the same as Pollard’s chances.
@@xacex6944 That's a lie, go look at that tackle again and tell me that he's landing on Dyson's legs at all. He grabbed him by the waist and brought him down without any parts of his body being laid across Dyson's legs. The defender literally flopped right down onto TP's ankle on that tackle. Most of the defender's body was on the ground when he made the tackle on Dyson, at no point was his entire torso laying across Dyson's legs.
@@xacex6944that’s not what’s being banned at all🤣🤣 you and everyone else complaining have no idea.
The league wants more offense. Thanks a lot casual fans. All of the complaining you did about games being too boring, paid off. Now you’ll get your 41-38 games 5-6 times a week. You helped destroy the game
It's happening to the NBA right now
Not only that it puts the game at a competitive disadvantage. This is ridiculous. It’s becoming one more like flag football every season and to me that cheapens the product has a hard-core fan. I just don’t wanna see all offense like you said that gets boring. I get frustrated like will somebody stop somebody.
@@velvetsky5117 absolutely the NBA is unwatchable.

@wheelchairmanjon that's why so many people watch it. Just bots right?
Haven’t seen hip drop tackles for real until they basically banned formed tackling
The hip drop tackle is actually good tackling technique. It’s not like launching into guys or doing something stupid it’s proper tackling technique it’s just dumb to remove it.
It's not there's far better techniques being taught. Rugby style tackling is being taught at every level now. I've coached for years in the state of Texas and it's the only technique I've taught since going to clinics and watching instructional videos.
@@texboi3673 not saying there isn’t but in the nfl the guys are bigger stronger and faster it’s hard to get these guys down with textbook form every time.
If it's injuring people at a much higher rate then it's fundamentally not good tackling technique
@@unc54If it’s getting guys to the ground at a good rate then it’s a fundamentally good technique.
@@tajiri7 Yeah so do suplexes. Guess that's also good technique.

Also NFL: “Don’t tackle their hips”
Rugby ain’t sounding too bad right now
They should make the stiff arm illegal to balance it out
If that happens, then you might as well put skirts on the players. Football would become unwatchable. It’s a dangerous sport, the players know that, and they are paid handsomely.
Nobody gets injured by getting stiff armed. Those hip drop tackles are wildly dangerous hits
@@CalebWilliams2030 nah they wont do that cuz they want more scoring if u havent noticed all the rules changes are against the D..... the offense has 0 accountability for their actions that lead them to get injured like lower their head ect and the next rule change will be against the D again buddy lol
The stiff arm to the facemask should be illegal already
@whatwhat9004 the point is to even it out and take one of the things offensive players do to make tackling harder away.
Not to mention, stiff arming an opponent probably leads to alot of these tackles.

He had a hip replacement though.

They get their point-counterpoint stance in the production meetings. They may not agree, but they have to run the play that’s called.
The fact that RG III, who had a potentially amazing career ended by injuries, carries a lot of weight with me.
This will be just like the NBA very soon, no defense. Every team will be scoring 70 points in a couple years; it's just sad and pathetic what they are doing to the game.
Last season the Dolphins scored 70 against the Broncos. That will be a regularity in a few years.
For that reason that's why I stopped being a NBA fan

Shannon: "its said that this play has a 25% higher chance of injury, so we cant get to a point where theres a 25 times higher chance"........ Math ya know🤣🤣🤣
He meant to say a 20x-25x higher injury risk. He misspoke and said % instead of times initially. Just a Freudian slip, and he cleared it up at the end.
A misquote.
Shannon is an idiot
Exactly, 25% higher injury rate does not mean 25x the injury rate. People need to get some basic math skills because that is an error that makes it out to be 100x worse than it actually is. And that's the real math
@@Chris62492 That's not true. Your math is wrong. It is 1.25x higher injury risk. That is how math works. That's a big difference from 25x. It's not a misquote, it's people that can't pass 4th grade math
Shame on you shay. You’re contributing to a flag football future.
He’s being paid he’s retired he don’t care..money! The NFL is a business first entertainment second and arguably not even a sport 3rd.. 🤦♂️ terrible..
I'd rather them just get rid of kickoff completely for player safety! There is no such thing as a kickoff return anymore, which was one of the best parts of the game, and not there won't be any suplexes or even tackling! Thank you, sports betting. 😢
If you’ve never played tackle football in your life you won’t understand how hard this will make it for the defense to take someone down with so many other rules already limiting them.
Soon tackling will be banned in the future. Flag football or two-hand touch soon
I mean honestly 😂 they might as well play two hand touch.
Within a few decades tackle football will be a thing of the past.
Yeah and i promise you i only with millions will not be watching pro football any more the NFL will lose millions if!!! it ever gets that bad.
If they really start calling this a penalty, im out, I refuse to watch this nonsense, there is no way to get a guy on the ground with out it...... I can't believe they did this....
Right. It's going to be almost like a cinematic spoof. You don't watch for the storyline, you watch for the comedic relief.
Theres always gonna be a "most unsafe" way of tackling no matter what you remove
Exactly!!! Now that the hip drop is illegal , they'll move on to the next clear most dangerous tackle and that'll of course have to be removed as well!!! Why don't we just stop Fing around and just make it non contact flag football now instead of waiting???
Just change it to flag football or two hand touch. 😂
Pro bowl already flag football 😂😂😂
Shannon Sharpe trying to do math is the funniest thing I've seen lately
Too many rules in the NFL, they are destroying the game!
I've watched football for many years and as Shannon said, "never saw this tackle" until recently. Players were taught to tackle from behind by attempting to wrap up the legs of the ball carrier or at least trip him from behind.
Boycott the NFL this is ridiculous
Shannon giving the Company Man answer! This is totally different than the horse collar 👎🏾👎🏾
For him saying he never saw that in his time playing that’s because 20 years ago they can literally hit anybody any kind of way with no real penalty lol dudes out of touch
@@chrisjacobs9101 so far out of touch! Things were a lot worse when Shannon played and he knows it! I can understand all the headshots! This is stupid 👎🏾👎🏾
You know all those flag football commercials the NFL shows every third commercial? They are showing it to you because that is what is coming.
In my opinion the NFL and its owners don’t make rule changes for player safety. They make rules to protect their “investments.” Safer is just a bi product. They could care less about players but more about assets that they don’t view as people. Aka players
You can't be serious
Defense is all about instinct. Having to think before you do something is a death sentence for a defender.
not that deep still just a game for millionares they will be ok
@@brandoncarney6086 You get what I'm saying tho...All of life is just a game

How obvious do they have to make it. The owners can bet MILLIONS on their own teams losing. They tell the coach to lose a game in the middle of season like the dolphins and make millions off it while their fans suffer
Hey this is a league where everyone is fine with cheating. Steroids is Cheating etc. They are gonna make this game so bland that you might as well watch the pee wee league.

South Park called it lol “sarcasta ball”
Lmao you so right I forgot about that episode 😂😂
“Spun on my top” no Diddy😂
Lmaooo.. you wild bro
Put this in perspective. 30-40 years ago, did you see this tackle much? No. Tom Brady's words of the League becoming mediocre includes these mediocre tackle techniques. I agree with this rule because this is one aspect where the league and players in the league have chosen to become lazy. This tackling method is junior high at best. It does not belong in the league. When I played pop warner I was never taught to tackle this way. Whatever happened to tackling the right way with force. I was always taught to have head up attack a leg around the hips, wrap up and drive through the tackle. I was not taught to be a pansy and use this pathetic, weak, sissy tackling method. That's exactly what it is. Tackling the right way is still allowed in the league, so do it. This method is causes injury, which is backed up by their scientific data and analytics. Why are these players reacting this way? I don't know. Tackling a player does NOT mean trying to injure and hurt him. This tackling technique causes injury, so stop it. If you care about your players, the team and the league, stop it. If you don't, don't. There are many players who do try to hurt other players intentionally. But no one wants to talk about that elephant. Or the elephant that retaliatory tackles and behavior exist in the league, on teams that hurt and injure players and affects their livelihoods and careers. But let's not talk about that. This ban brings respectability back to the league in a measure. Mel Blount, MIKE SINGLETARY, Lawrence Taylor, and Ronnie Lott would be happy with this ban. Put a shoulder in the gut of a player, with your head up, drive through him with force and tackle him. What's so hard about that?
It's a choice. Yes, it is. Stop doing it. You may be the player who gets injured and hurt and ends your career and earning potential to provide for your family.
Alright Shannon, you go ahead and spearhead the efforts for flags next. This is so ridiculous.
It's almost April and RGIII still has his Xmas tree still up

This is how you have to tackle from behind now.... (1)Simply run full speed (2) While running full speed you must leep in the air like Goldberg (3) While in the air you must preform what's know as an RKO grab the ball carrier's helmet as something to secure the tackle 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀

I'm always amazed at how NFL fans want to see guys get hurt. The tackle is dangerous period. If you have to literally sit on a guys ankle to take him down then it's safe to say you need to learn how to tackle.
Shannon is the only guy with common sense on this panel.
So, they essentially ban tackling from football.
The league wants more offense. As long as offenses have more opportunities to score points, that’s what they really care about. If it was truly about safety, they’d get rid of artificial turf, but owners don’t directly save money by allowing hip drop tackles.
More offense but take away the kickoff? No returns Less points
I'm guessing more scores equals more commercial breaks as well.
@@Rikalonius that too lol
Tbh I don’t play the game of football but one thing I would say to balance out that rule is to allow pushing in the back to disrupt the forward momentum since you can’t tackle to kill before momentum.
The NFLPA should not be one union. There needs to be a separate union for each position group.
The NFL should be controlled by the government.
I don't believe the 25x to 30x more dangerous stat. Season ending lower extremity injuries can happen on any play with or without contact: Achilles tear, ankle sprain, calf injury, knee ligament tear, severe hamstring strains. It's dishonest to say 25x more dangerous and impossible to quantify.
That's not what Shannon said. He did not say that there was as 25x or 30x higher injury rate from that specific action. That would be insane.
He said that it was a 25 to 30 percent higher chance of injury from that specific type of action.
Massive difference.
Football is a physical sport. They can continue banning "danger" plays until all that's left is flag football.
Then they will ban the ability to grab flags, due to accidental scratching and nail breaking 😅😅😅😅
@@AirOut-jt6jw😂 Priceless perspective
We’re going to see so many big plays on offense because of defenders hesitating
Looks like a normal tackle in the video. Do not see a problem with that
Happy or not with the changes you'll still watch and that's all the nfl needs from any fans. 25% is 10% too much; most people complaining don't even understand what the tackle does to someone's body paired with momentum and the weight of two men

Since they passed this rule, I recommend taking away any automatic first downs! just mark off the yardage and play the down over. You know, give something back to the Defense. I was a DB in high school many years ago.
Sooner than later this will end up as the NFL “National Flag League”
I started playing rugby in college and adjusted to an incredibly different dynamic of tackling that required way more technique than football. I'm pretty sure the top 1% athletes in the world can figured out how to properly tackle someone by wrapping up. Might cause a lot more ankle twists and calf pulls, but that's on the league.
@dokedoker3340 Literally none of the clips were players coming off blocks. And yes you tackle from behind or at an angle all the time in Rugby. I also played football and never once seen someone hip drop tackle someone.
@@BoomorBustthis right here. The hip drop tackle is becoming very prevalent now and it’s not taught at all. It’s a lazy dangerous form of tackling. It’s easy to tackle someone from behind.
