Photo by The NFL and its competition committee have proposed three significant rule changes, and one of them has defensive players up in arms. The committee wants to outlaw the ‘hip drop tackle,’ which has caused several major injuries in recent memory. This move has sparked outrage among players, with Darius Slay tweeting ’this s— is crazy!’ The NFLPA has also come out against the proposal, arguing it will make playing defense more confusing.
Players are not happy about the proposed rule change
Other rule change proposals include a replay review for potential delay of game penalties and a new and complicated way to approach the kickoff. Ultimately, the owners have the power: If 25 of 32 vote for any of these rules, they become official.
