Seriously? This would be ridiculous if this were to go into effect. I played WR Div 1 in 99-2003 and would have LOVED some of these rules. Basically, just let me catch the ball and if you touch me you get flagged. What a goofy crock of poo if true.

They're super duper worried about injuries - but still don't outlaw turf. 

Makes sense.

First thing your taught playing rugby league hit around the waste and slide down the legs. You can’t run without legs 

Must be an Australian thing.

We were always taught "man and ball". You wrap up high to stop the offload.

I'd say we've already entered into the flag football era that ship has sailed. The league can't even get calls right or decide on what is or isn't a catch with high resolution camera angles all over the field. No sense getting upset about it now.

Yeah that’s up in age. But 2 man tackles first one low then second up high to stop offload. She’s all up high in the pros they’re to good at getting the offload away.

Watch golf

Dont care for it

 

But having seen things like Joe Theismann's bone coming out of his leg and Damar Hamlin laying on the field for what seemed like an hour and Daryl Stingly never getting up I dont need/want to see any more career ending injuries.

 

 

Want bloodsport?  Go watch MMA.

If enough emasculated males in sports media complain loudly enough, NFL will changes its rules to oblige them. Soys boys who never played sports trying to tell NFL LBers how to tackle a horse like Derrick Henry. How embarrassing.

Quote

During a conference call ahead of the Annual League Meeting -- in which owners will vote on 10 proposed changes -- NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent reiterated the importance of a player safety-focused change, again stressing the hip-drop tackle is "something we want to get out of the game."

 

"The greatest asset for any athlete is durability and availability," Vincent elaborated, via ESPN's Kevin Seifert. "When you have a play that has a 20-25 times the injury rate, it doesn't allow you to fulfill your dreams."

You were saying?

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
