So either the NFL and I are using very different definitions of hip tackles, or they're just straight up lying.
By my definition, there would be more than 100 hip tackles per team.
Also, NFL executive vice president of football ops Troy Vincent conceded last month that the hip-drop tackle could prove hard to officiate, with fines more likely than flags.
“Most uses of the helmet are captured the week after,” Vincent said.
So if we're mainly talking 100 more fines per season, I don't give a crap. It ain't my money, but I don't want Refs throwing flags for this.
