Can someone explain to me what this is? I've watched a couple of videos on Youtube and it looks like a normal tackle. It's not like a horse collar which is pretty obvious. Does anyone else think this going to cause a lot of confusion???

The article you posted disagrees with the nuisance you speak of.There seems to be some nuance to the ban.
The form of the hip-drop tackle to be banned includes "unweighting with a swivel" - too much torque.
JJ Watt reacts after NFL bans controversial 'hip-drop tackle'
The NFL has made the controversial decision to outlaw the hip-drop tackle for the 2024 season - with a number of stars taking to social media to voice their displeasurewww.mirror.co.uk
Defensive penalties have ruined the NFL. Ticky tack crap most of it. In this case the runner is allowed to keep trying to gain yards but the defender has to give up his limited ability to stop a player. There are good changes to the game like crown of the helmet hit and horse tackle. However most new defensive penalties are to encourage higher scoring. The NFL is all about satisfying the gamblers and fantasy players.D players hate it because it makes their job harder. If there is a high correlation between the tackle and injuries, it makes sense. D players appreciate the ban of blindside blocks or low blocks.
NFL is very popular. Fans want to see high scoring. Player safety should be high priority. The hip drop is to prevent the offensive player to gain additional yards. You can complete the same tackle w/o the drop but the runner will be able to get additional yardage.Defensive penalties have ruined the NFL. Ticky tack crap most of it.

As I said the NFL is catering to high scoring and fantasy players. Those people want to see high scoring. Not everyone is happy that teams are having to eliminate the defense from the game. Basically they are limiting the ability for defenders making tackles from behind and some from the side. As JJ Watt posted "bring out the flag belts".NFL is very popular.

I was thinking the same thing.The NFL will be 2-hand touch by the end of the decade.
Between this and Roughing the Passer penalties on legit sacks or an illegal contact penalty because the DBs fingertip brushed a folded crease of the WRs jersey while making an Int, what’s the point?Defensive penalties have ruined the NFL.

I do like the change to the kickoff. We can actually watch a return for a change. I don't think there was one return during the Conference Championships and Super Bowl. However, it does eliminate the onside kick.
From the tweet from an Athletic reporter, it sounds like a guy named Sam Schwartzstein created the rules for the XFL and that's where it comes from.(Is this the Schiano proposed kickoff rule?).
Perfectly reasonable.
Would be funny that instead of an onside kick from this formation, the kicker has to kick the ball trough the uprights to keep possession from the -45. From the -35 if you hit the goalpost. Theres some kickers who can actually do this.
Very good point. Can't hit high, can't hit low. WTF?A reason the low body tackles became more prevalent was the rule change penalizing upper body contact by defenders. People predicted there would be more knee injuries
Flag footballI was thinking the same thing.
The worst call I've seen in football (pro or college) in the last decade was when Rutgers had a linebacker penalized for targeting on a 4th and 1 run in the A-gap, where he made the tackle a yard deep in the backfield.Between this and Roughing the Passer penalties on legit sacks or an illegal contact penalty because the DBs fingertip brushed a folded crease of the WRs jersey while making an Int, what’s the point?
Not exactly. You can't drop your body onto his legs below the knees in doing so. Now, the natural reaction to this is Wha? But when you see it, I think you might go, "Oh that! Yeah, that oughta be banned." This clip shows examples from rugby league, but it shows the general idea.Is this style something new? So if you grab a guy by the waist from behind you can't pull him down with your body weight any more??
Just watched about 10 examples from the NFL. Looks like a normal tackle, especially when a smaller defensive player is trying to bring down a bigger guy.Not exactly.

Yeah, I’m sure people will stop watching because there is too much scoring.Just watched about 10 examples from the NFL. Looks like a normal tackle, especially when a smaller defensive player is trying to bring down a bigger guy.
This is not going to end well for the NFL.
I think it’s the same as horse collar tackle. Essentially, you can only tackle players forward from the side or behind.I think this is going to be very difficult for the officials and we'll be seeing a lot of things called and not called that will lead to WTF moments when we're watching games.
Horse collar is easy to see. It's where the tackler grabs the ball carrier.I think it’s the same as horse collar tackle. Essentially, you can only tackle players forward from the side or behind.
If you tackle someone from the side or behind and cause the player to fall to the same side as the tackler, its a hip drop.Horse collar is easy to see. It's where the tackler grabs the ball carrier.
As per AJ Hawk, most defensive players have never even heard of the term until the NFL started talking about it last year. It's just normal tackling. Try to tackle D Henry with all these vague rules and see what happens.If you tackle someone from the side or behind and cause the player to fall to the same side as the tackler, its a hip drop.
So as you're tackling someone you need to be aware of both where you and the ball carrier land?If you tackle someone from the side or behind and cause the player to fall to the same side as the tackler, its a hip drop.
No, you just can’t drop your weight on them. Where they land are just easy ways to make the call.So as you're tackling someone you need to be aware of both where you and the ball carrier land?
AJ Hawk hasn’t played football in the NFL since 2016. A lot has changed since.As per AJ Hawk, most defensive players have never even heard of the term until the NFL started talking about it last year. It's just normal tackling. Try to tackle D Henry with all these vague rules and see what happens.
Can't have your head down. Can't drop weight onto them. And now, can't drop your weight to the ground.So as you're tackling someone you need to be aware of both where you and the ball carrier land?
No it hasn't. And JJ Watt said the same thing. So.....LOL!AJ Hawk hasn’t played football in the NFL since 2016. A lot has changed since.
Quick Google will tell you all the rule changes that started after 2016. All the defensive players will complaint because it makes their job harder.No it hasn't. And JJ Watt said the same thing. So.....LOL!
