As a human: mostly indifferent
As a business person:
The NFL is protecting the merchandise. National audience tunes in to see offense. Further protect offensive players/potentially weaken tackling attempts(win-win)
As Hitman: Dislike, more defensive fines, true sport weakens
This may be the 1st time I’ve ever seen

not wear black cleats nor black sleeves on Gameday!
Expecting a big game from the 2 of them!
This type of hit is encouraged in oline rooms …it won’t be flagged as long as it occurs near a ball carrier fighting for yardage
O-line/TEs hit like this in every game. Not hating on offense, I get trying to help the ball carrier advance. However modern era gotta be addressed
Thank you to everyone who pledged in support of my Big Tackles campaign for Big Brothers Big Sisters, great way to start the New Year by reaching our goal!
I've seen his waistline and can guarantee that I would smoke him in an IPA chugging contest. If we did it on a Saturday night, he'd be inactive on game day.

They aren’t very similar plays…do I like the Joseph hits? No.
But coach him up…what would you recommend he do?
The rules have encouraged more hits like that from the DB position…most effective way to protect that area of the field without penalty… I don’t like it either
Glad my coach is going to be sleeping as good as I do now that he has a

So hit him in the same spot in the same manner but wrap up? Would that make the tackle safer? More effective? What’s the incentive for the defensive player to change his actions?
This isn’t a Vikings/Lions thing just a football convo
