Would love for the nfl to show the technique that should be used on those tackles instead when you have a RB, TE trying to break free.
And do that in real speed.

You can't grab a guy from behind and German suplex them
Maybe you can grab a guy from the front in a bearhug and give him a belly-to-belly suplex

Pretty easy. Go look at the decades prior when guys tackled without doing the hip drop. It's not a big deal. Wrap a guy up and tackle without dropping your weight on his feet.
This isn't any different than almost a decade ago when pass rushers figured out they could break collar bones by turning a QBs body to drive the shoulder into the turf and landing on them, so the league had to respond by taking that out of the game.
Or any different when guys (I'm looking at you, Roy Williams) started grabbing guys by the shoulder pads and pulling straight down to break legs. The league outlawed it.
The Overhang: Can Mike McDaniel scheme his way out of Dolphins' injury hell? Is Patrick Mahomes doomed because of Chiefs' drops?
Here's the Worry-O-Meter and how to rate the level of concern for the Super Bowl chances of Kansas City, Detroit, Jacksonville, Philadelphia and Miami.

Yup. They legally cannot have games on saturday during the NCAA regular season so once championship saturday wraps up, they usually throw a few games in that slot.
They've been doing that for years now.
Only do it for like 2 weeks in December. Only Sundays in the final 2 weeks. And then in the POs.
Before the 18 week season they would usually do saturday and monday night games (just one) up until week 16. Week 17 was all sunday obviously for playoff picture purposes.
This year week 17 has a thursday and saturday game alongside the usual sunday slate with no MNF. week 18 is all saturday.

Imagine going back to the olden times when you didn’t have a guy tackled unless he was pinned to the ground.

Cold pizza: DeVito event canceled over QB's fee
Tommy DeVito and his agent apparently have run afoul of a New Jersey pizzeria, which said it canceled an event featuring the Giants quarterback because he doubled his appearance fee.

RIP Fugu
That is pretty pathetic given Browns long history
Even the Bears have had 4 WR's accomplish that
Marty Booker
Alshon Jeffery
Brandon Marshall
Allen Robinson
Also refresh my memory, why did the Cowboys dump Cooper? Seems like he would be ideal guy to have as #2 across from Lamb over these past 2 years and it wasn't like he didn't produce as a Cowboy

Giants QB Tommy DeVito makes good on NJ pizzeria appearance after flap over alleged doubling of $10K fee
DeVito reportedly showed up for free after the shop's owner said that he and his agent reneged on an agreed-upon appearance fee.

He seems like a really good, down to earth guy. The family/agent etc. need to get over themselves & stop acting like they are the 2nd coming of The Sopranos.

It was specifically a cap dump to make room for a new deal to keep Randy Gregory, but he didn't like the way the Cowboys were structuring his offer and turned it down. The Cowboys then offered the same thing to Von Miller, but he also turned them down.
The Cowboys then panicked about giving away Cooper and not getting either pass rusher so they used a big chunk of the new cap space to pay Michael Gallup to be an expensive number two WR even though he was in the midst of recovering from an ACL tear.
It says a lot about how good their drafting has been to cover up some serious cap mistakes the past few seasons.
Zeke's agent set up a great deal for him. Making the follow year's base salary guaranteed in the first week of the prior year. Like 2022 base was guaranteed in March 2021, thus Dallas would have to eat the 2021 base salary to get rid of him and avoid the 2022 base being guaranteed.
Plus delaying on Dak cost them. They have to pay Parsons and Lamb is finishing his 4th year and going into the 5th year option next season. Have to find cap room for them while managing Dak's contract since it's currently a $59 mill cap charge and $62 mill in dead money if they were to move off him. He's due $34 mill in real money next season, but I would guess his agent would not just convert most of the $29 mill in base salary into a bonus, but will want new guaranteed money added onto the contract.

This is a very stupid story. Pizza place is just bitching that negotiations didn’t go how they wanted. Get your shit in writing or f*** off. Sucks that Devito felt he had to show up for nothing.
$10K for a pizzeria is a lot of money. And I agree, get it in writing. But for DeVito, be a man of your word. If you say it's going to be $10K, do it for that amount. Do not go back and ask for him, just like the PIzzeria should not look to cut his fee in half at the last minute either.
