Geno Smith was knocked out by the very play the NFL has vowed to get out of the game.
Ankles and knees, rejoice? The type of tackle that injured Geno Smith last season has just been submitted by the NFL with language for making it illegal, with a 15-yard penalty that officials believe they can enforce. Bob Condotta indicates that Pete Carroll would have supported this move by the league. The NFLPA has stated its opposition to the proposed rule change. “The players oppose any attempt by the NFL to implement a rule prohibiting a ‘swivel hip-drop’ tackle,” the NFLPA statement read.
Furthermore, we’ve witnessed for years how inconsistently the NFL has actually been able to identify specific moves within the game. We’ve seen this with really complicated issues like pass interference...or a catch. This move, however - called the “hip-drop tackle” - involves throwing one’s weight downward and specifically onto the lower body of the ball-carrier. It’s what injured Geno Smith against the New York Giants in 2023.
