Yea it was pivot!!Where did he say this? The pivot?
Just finished the pivot episode with Henry and dude seems laid back af. I think we in for a big year. The part where they talk about Ryan Clark meeting Henry in the hole had me laughing. Check it out
I feel like to me the NFL has got to get on the teams to properly coach the players better when it comes to tackling and what not. Especially with the hip drop being banned, it will take time to get used to and if it's only a trial for this season, will all this be worth it? We know there will be game changing penalties due to this.... in real time it will be hard to see whether it was a hip drop tackle or not. They really needed to make this similar to targeting in college where it's automatically reviewed or something. We have refs with old man eyes out there that will certainly throw flags on clear legal tackles and not throw flags on a clear illegal hip drop tackle.they do it in rugby all the time without much issue...
the only thing that makes this a foul is the lift and leg-swing onto the backs of the legs of the ball-carrier (and also btw only ensures they go down, doesn't actually decrease their yardage gain)
if you just drive through the legs
Actually do a proper wrap tackle rather than rolling up the back of their legs.What do you do if your a LB and you see Pat and Henry coming at you? damn
What's crazy is everyone looks at the Mark Andrews injury and says ban it, yet the NFL came out and said even with the ban that the tackle on Andrews wouldn't have been a penalty. So like if the one play everyone picked out as the reason to ban it wouldn't have even been a penalty, why ban it to begin with?

Every Bengal fan is texting me that Harbaugh is a baby, blah blah blah. Every team voted for itthe players are complaining about it - but with the thousands of tackles in a season there were only 250 such tackles last year at all... and that's before it's an illegal tackle - so clearly the players can tackle without the swing onto the back of the legs
the only issue will be referees not penalising fair tackles that look similar
Hard to do when you’re on your back.Actually do a proper wrap tackle rather than rolling up the back of their legs.

Rule changes will definitely be interesting this year.
100% understand the ban of the hip drop tackle but damn defenses can't catch a break. Target for hitting has gotten exponentially smaller and now you're expected to take a dude running full speed and just hope you can hold him up.
Kick return rules are interesting from a returner standpoint in that a one cut and go type of guy is probably who you're throwing out there now. Seemingly a lot less about speed and shiftiness, and more so vision and patience.
pound the rockImagine trying to tackle Derrick Henry now...
Oh don't worry, we will. Just not in the post seasonpound the rock

Would anticipate at this point that if they do sign, it’ll be after the draft. Doesn’t seem like any team out there is really pressing for any guys at the minimum at this point, and from the player perspective, you might as well see if the market accelerates after the draft pending what teams do and don’t do.Pretty ok offseason thus far, pretty much what could be expected after last year's void year spree.
Two moves that I thought would happen that have not are Worley and Mustipher at or near vet min. Both are cheap, reliable depth at positions that currently have no depth. Probably no hurry to sign either though
Definitely benefits us with the Henry signing.might add some extra value to RBs too ironically
