    Good luck tackling Derrick Henry or any big back next year.

      Could not agree more. Even on a more obvious outlawed tackle technique (horse collar), there’s still a grey area where it’s legal but looks bad. I have no faith refs will be able to call this penalty correctly at game speed. I think it’ll end up being called almost after the fact if a player stays down hurt.

      Or it’ll be like the offensive player leading with their helmet calls. I saw some bad ones this year, but I think were mainly fines after the game rather than called within game. May be mistaken on that. Anyone got Jaylen Warren’s number?

        there's gonna be a ban on "crocodile" tackles next, as soon as someone grabs and spins, legs get tangled, boom, outta here


        or you spin and slam a guy to the ground, that'll result in increased concussions



        a guy breaks a tackle and then his plant leg is vulnerable, usually guys are aware enough to take the weight off their plant leg, but if they don't, it can be catastrophic, that's not the defenders problem. If dude doesn't want to give up **** can happen


        it's like ballcarriers shouldn't attempt to break tackles because by doing so, they put themselves in a position for injury. Why penalize tacklers for that?

                  I feel like it’s coming.

                  Already got 5 days out of the week so why not go for the other 2.

                    They just (hopefully) made kickoffs an actual thing again so, like the pitch clock, that should actually help the game.

                    The tackle rule, well we’ll see once the season starts and how it’s called.

                      I'm curious how the Wednesday game will work.

                      Playing Sunday and then playing again Wednesday seems like a stretch even for the NFL. But maybe not. Bye weeks are usually done by that point in the season, so it seems unlikely you'd have two teams coming off a bye. Guess you could have a couple of Saturday games and then have two teams from those games play on Wednesday. But back-to-back short weeks (Sunday-Saturday-Wednesday) would be rough.

                      There has to be a point out there somewhere where even the NFL becomes too oversaturated.

                        From what I’ve seen, it would only apply to teams playing on that Saturday. Basically no different than teams going from Sunday - Thursday.

                        Gonna have a lot of Football on all week though:

                          I agree

                          It'll be nice to see Kickoffs being apart of the NFL again after it was getting phased out. I still see some teams opting to continue to kick out the endzone. Maybe, the ball getting placed at the 30 might persuade them to do more kickoffs.

                          Far as tackling, teams are going to have to preach form tackling from behind. I do get the concern of a 180lb DB being the last line of defense trying to chase down a full head of steam Derrick Henry. I can see a lot of missed Tackles because guys are going to dive for the legs or try to tackle and twist

                            One interesting part I saw is that penalties on scoring plays can no longer be rolled over to the kickoff, they must be enforced on the try. So that means a lot more "Spotted on the 1" situations and hopefully more 2 pt attempts.
                            Bills, Sabres, Illini, Cubs, basically any team that abuses its fanbase and I'm there.

                              Dallas police seeking Chiefs WR Rashee Rice in connection with major accident, report says

                              Rice's alleged involvement in the crash still remains unclear

                              Police in Dallas are searching for Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice over an investigation of a major accident that took place on Saturday evening, according to a report by The Dallas Morning News.

                              The outlet reported that a vehicle, which is believed to be registered or leased to Rice, was involved in a crash around 6:20 p.m. on Saturday.

                              Dallas police spokeswoman Kristin Lowman told The Dallas Morning News that the preliminary investigation determined a driver in a Chevrolet Corvette and a driver in a Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane and both lost control of their vehicles. Two drivers were treated at the crash site for minor injures and two other people were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, while police are still working to identify the suspects.

                              Rice's alleged involvement in the crash is unclear, but the police call sheet obtained by The Dallas Morning News listed him as the suspected driver of the Corvette.

                              Rice, a second-round pick by the Chiefs last year, had a standout rookie season as Patrick Mahomes' leading receiver behind Travis Kelce. He had 79 catches for 938 yards and a team-leading seven touchdowns before setting an NFL rookie record with 26 postseason receptions during the Chiefs' Super Bowl run.

                              The 23-year-old Rice grew up in North Richland Hills, Texas, and attended Southern Methodist University (SMU) in University Park, a suburb of Dallas.

                                Cam Sutton has finally turned himself in. I'm glad this didn't end with him being found dead, even if he is a POS.

                                Following an arrest warrant for alleged domestic violence in Hillsborough County, Florida, former Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions cornerback Cameron Sutton was arrested by authorities, ending an effort to try and find the 29-year-old cornerback that spanned weeks. Sutton turned himself into police earlier today. The Hillsborough County Police Department twitter account shared a clip […]
