We've got some new rules to be mad at. RIP the swivel hip drop drop tackle. Oh, you want to start there? I'll start there. Yeah, I'll start there. Because as we told you on the show, the hip drop tackle, banning that would be a massive, massive mistake. I think you would be free, right? Well, it's a mistake for many reasons. The first reason in my mind is we have just added a rule that is going to be debated

similar to Kentland on the quarterback. There will be a big, big game decided by this the hip drop. What is it? What's the penalty? I was at 15 yards. I actually don't know if it's I don't need to come out. It feels like 10 15. They did it in the name of player safety. They said they banned it, but we don't know what the I don't think it's an ejection yeah it can't be an ejection but

either way there will be a moment where this happens and it will end a drive and

people are like, this is fucking bullshit. That was football. And it's just another thing in the line of NFL tinkering with the game and making it worse. Well, they're making it is such a subjective call because you have to have like certain elements that are involved in the speed that the games played out, you're gonna have referees that are like, I think that was a hip-trop tackle. I'm not really sure.

And. call because you have to have like certain elements that are involved in the speed that the games played out You're gonna have referees that are like I think that was a hip-drop tackle I'm not really sure and to me I think one of the biggest things that are not looking at with this is that it's it's a penalty that can be affected by the offense So like a quarterback getting landed on by defensive player That's all on the defensive player at least right? Yep, but if if somebody's getting tackled and you're trying to fight through the tackle,

and you shift your weight and you hit the guy back, you can throw the guy's body around and put him in a position where now he's making a hip drop tackle. Yes. And that's the way that he brings him down to the ground. At that point, yes, by by letter of the rule, it is a hip drop tackle. The other thing is you're gonna have the most annoying people in the world screaming hip drop. Yep at the TV

Screen shots. Screen shots of hip drop tackles. You're gonna have people I don't want to name any names, but we sit next to a guy on Sundays named Jerry when the Steelers have the ball Every time somebody makes a catch he's gonna say hip drop. Yeah, hip drop and not only that, but to player safety So there were were a couple of injuries this year with hip drop tap. 15. 15 years. Okay. The hip drop tackle is the 230 times last season. Okay. 15 players got injured. Also, it will be a 15 year penalty. 15 year penalty. Okay. Potential fines as well. Okay. So that's good to know. So it will decide a game at some point this year But similar to when they change, you know, helmet to helmet, head hunting, all that stuff, which was good. The like waterfall effect, run down effect. Is that the right word waterfall effect? Unintending consequence. Unintending consequences. Thank you. The unintended consequences is guys now have to go after people low and at their knees and So you can't hit them above the shoulders. You can't hit them like super low But like there's nowhere to hit guys and now you're taking away another use for the defense making him even more difficult I think it's gonna probably add they're taking away injuries and there'll be injuries because of that Yeah, just think about this this. You're a defensive player. You tackle somebody around the waist.

Sometimes you end up landing on their legs.

Right. Even when you're not trying to do that.

So guys are, I don't know, are they going to stop trying to wrap up around the waist and instead just go for shoe string? I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen. but I think it's a big mistake to put a rule in place

because the hip-trop tackle,

it wasn't a thing until like a year ago,

year and a half ago.
