The NFL is looking to eliminate the hip-drop tackle and will again discuss the “tush push' in the offseason.
League executive Jeff Miller said Tuesday the hip-drop tackle increases risk of injury by 25 times the rate of a standard tackle.
"When they use that tactic, you can see why they do, because it can be a smaller man against a bigger man and they're trying to get that person down because that's the object of the game. But when they do it, the runner becomes defenseless. They can't kick their way out from under. And that's the problem. That's where the injury occurs. You see the ankle get trapped underneath the weight of the defender.
There was a discussion about potentially banning the play after last season, but the NFL's competition committee didn't come up with a rule to be put to a vote that would prohibit it. The timeline for virtual interviews remains the same and interviews may take place earlier for internal candidates or those not working for a club or within the NFL.
There's no timeline for a decision on a fourth international game for 2024 — two games will be played in London and one in Germany — but O'Reilly said he expects an announcement in December or January.The NFL says it experienced a seven-year low in training camp concussions because of the use of the Guardian caps.
