Bill Belichick sat down with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for a segment on the Pat McAfee Show.
During the appearance, Belichick and Goodell discussed their opinions on the hip-drop style tackle, which NFL teams voted unanimously to ban ahead of the upcoming-season.
“I think over the years, the NFL has done a great job of making the game safer for players – the targeting, the horse-collar tackle, the hip-drop,” Belichick said. “There really aren’t very many of them. I think there were maybe only a dozen or so of them last year, but it’s a good thing to get rid of.
