they're not going to fool around with this. massive fine and at least a second round draft pick. maybe 1st + more. mike brown will have to sell the team from being bankrupt. that's what a real and strong league would do at least

In response to a question about hip-drop tackles at his end-of-season media briefing, NFL chief medical officer Allen Sills acknowledged on Feb. 3 that the league had begun studying the risk posed by “that type of tackle.” Sills added that “it needs to be a very active discussion point again with the competition committee and others” during the offseason.

hat warning from Sills spread quickly on social media and drew an unenthusiastic response from many current and former NFL defensive players.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen quote-tweeted Sills’ comments and quipped, “2 hand touch then.”

it would be something if they incentivized fewer dangerous plays by continually using player instinct tendencies of the past 10 years; looked at how the game had been played during that period and made it better to do something else instead of more dangerous moves. when it is "taken care of" by telling people to either do nothing useful or take a penalty, that means more penalties and that isn't a complaint about penalties but about the efficacy of that being a solution. there are dozens of horse collar penalties each season even though it was banned 18 years ago and peoples' response to that is definitely, "that's good. you're bad if you think that's bad," instead of seeing it as not enough. the extent that everyone is really willing to go to improve player safety is adding extra stoppages per game because a lazy fear of changing the stuff that was thought up 100 years ago when everyone was slow and the same size. occasionally adding little amendments to some of its fringes is the best we've got. you'd almost compare football players from many decades ago to something very powerful and dangerous of its time, and then modern players to a modern version of that dangerous and powerful thing, and see that they're still governed by largely the same set of inadequate rules.

off the top of my head current forward progress doesn't need to be the only version of being "stopped" that exists. the meaning of that could be several of many different things for different situations which even out the logistic responsibilities between defenders versus the people who are allowed to fight tooth and nail against them. obviously the reason you look into that in the first place is because the hip drop is banned but it would make more sense to attack it with multiple prongs to stop the actual problem and to take care of people. t wouldn't be just waiting for the next severe practical issue. the steelers are winning the super bowl on february 11th, 2024.

do not disparage the noble passerine. they wounded the badm'n, and the perfect boy broke his wrist earlier in the week while "doing it"
