Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones \"absolutely\" expects the NFL to ban the hip-drop tackle this week.
\"You can coach that one,\" Jones said. \"In my mind, that\'s one of the easier deals. It reminds me a little of [the] horse collar. That\'s needed. That\'s very needed. It\'s very obvious that it\'s injurious.\"
The tackle is characterized by the defensive player grabbing the ball carrier around the waist, twisting, and falling down. The injury happens when the defender lands on the ball carrier\'s lower legs.
The NFL Players Association opposes the move.
