NFL propose making the hip drop tackle a 15 yard penalty...
The problem is a large percentages of all tackles are hip drop tackles and you can't call that many and still have a game...
So if this gets passed, it's basically the refs throwing a flag whenever they feel like a tackle is extra worse...
And not saying a Ref would cheat, but this would be the easiest thing in the world to cheat with.
