If you’re pursuing a runner from behind, what’s the correct way to tackle now? Grab and roll your body away from the legs?
Just grab the flag, obviously
Grab them, hold on, try to stop. Like any tackle.
Don't crush their legs with your body. That's what's been outlawed.
As long as your bodyweight is not pinning their legs to the ground you're fine.
Hold onto their legs and by all means go to ground yourself so they can't drag you along. But don't deliberately land on their legs.
Your body weight can pin them to the ground, if it's your upper body naturally as part of the tackle.
You're only banned from having them wrapped up then throwing your lower body at their knees/ankles. That's not something that happens organically.
The thing I’ve noticed is a lot of defenders have added in martial arts style takedowns.
Which are in and of themselves not necessarily dangerous EXCEPT in a scenario where you’re the only one engaging in the martial arts takedown.
In a sparring match when both competitors are aware of what’s going on you don’t hurt your partner and when being taken down you go down knowing it’s happening. This is of course within reason within the confines of a real time combat sport.
Going down because you’ve been overpowered is one thing, going down because someone has used a combat takedown to tweak your joints and cause your forward momentum to either break your joints apart or take you to the ground is gonna cause problems.
This is a good change IMO.
The NFL wants you to not tackle them.
Wrap them up? Seriously, if you've seen real examples of what it is, it's very obviously a dirty play intentionally trying to hurt someone.
It doesn't save yardage and it's not good technique.
