OWINGS MILLS, Md. - Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh strongly supported the NFL's recent ban of the swivel hip-drop tackle, insisting defensive players won't be put at a disadvantage with the removal of this technique.
Harbaugh has been an advocate of getting rid of the hip-drop tackle ever since Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was severely injured on this type of play, which occurs when a defender wraps up a ball carrier and rotates his hips, dropping onto ball carrier's legs during the tackle.
On Nov. 16, Andrews was pulled to the ground by Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson on what the Ravens believe was a hip-drop tackle.
