The NFL is looking to crack down on the hip-drop tackle and many defensive players are not afraid to show their disapproval.
The league and the competition committee submitted language that would describe a "dangerous hip-drop tackle" that would necessitate a 15-yard penalty going forward.
This infraction would be called when a player makes a tackle where he "grabs the runner with both hands or wraps the number with both arms; and unweights himself by swiveling and dropping his hips and/or lower body, landing on and trapping the runner's leg(s) at or below the knee.
