David Andrews on the hip-drop tackle back in December, after Rhamondre Stevenson was injured on one vs. the Chargers: “There’s been a lot of rule changes since I came into the league, right? We used to be able to cut on the perimeter. (Defenders) used to be able to cut us on the perimeter. You’re talking about the drop tackle that people are talking about — you’re going to eventually take away everything in the game. “It’s the defense’s job to tackle guys, and I don’t think people are doing that with malicious intent. Eventually, you keep taking away certain plays, taking away certain plays, taking away this, taking away that, what’s going to be left of the game? Look, it’s an unfortunate reality of this game, and no one wants to see that. Guys on other teams don’t want to see guys get hurt. We don’t want to see guys get hurt. But it’s an unfortunate reality of playing in the NFL — playing football at any level.”
@zm_cox The NFL will be flag football within the next 20 years, probably less.
