Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker appeared to take issue with the possibility of the NFL banning hip-drop tackles as Roger Goodell remarked on the idea on Wednesday. Goodell told reporters after the December League Meeting was finished, he would like to see the maneuver taken out of the game. “Others were not actually teaching a version of it with the intent of injuring a player, but versions of the tackle. All of this is in that family of when we saw the hawk tackle and people adjusting to getting the head out of the game.”Vincent said the “one thing” they could do now is define what the hip-drop tackle is. Pro Football Talk noted that Australia’s National Rugby League banned the move because of the injuries.
