Might try this on Saturday

All these tackles are no illegal in the NFL

[@yoshirider123]

Here because of the hip drop controversy in the nfl

[@RugbyGuide]

Ah, what's that about then?

[@yoshirider123]

When players are tackling from behind, they are grabbing , then dropping their weight to the ground to stop the runner and occasionally and more recently players have significant ankle injuries because their legs get caught beneath them . Nfl might ban it

@@yoshirider123 Oh wow. Thanks for answering that question. I've never been comfortable doing it straight from behind where you'd land on their legs - likely to get a boot/studs in the face! - so would kind of come from the side. Or let someone else do tackle them! :D

@@RugbyGuideif nfl players were taught how to rugby tackle and if the nfl used the rules as in rugby, they would save themselves so many inuries and controversy. It can be so frustrating going from rugby to watching professional nfl players not even do basic form tackling

The whole first half of the video are “hip drop tackles” no? I think the legs getting caught underneath the tackler is mostly just an incidental thing, how are they supposed to stop a guy from gaining yards if they can’t “hip drop”?
