Isn't that essentially a hip drop?
29 u/MildlySelassie 4d ago Idiot here. Can someone explain which part is the problem? I see the arms wrapped around the waist, and then he pulls down. Where am I supposed to be looking to see what’s dirty? 109 u/jeeeeroylenkins 4d ago It’s the way he wraps around the lower limb and then basically drops his weight on it. It’s a technique that’s known to cause lower leg/knee injuries because of the amount of torque the tackler puts on the joint. -5 u/CapeTownyToniTone I still believe in Libbok 3d ago Hip drop usually has the tackler dropping his weight first, no? Looks here like JOC drops first to get the ball and Kolbe follows him. 2 u/jeeeeroylenkins 3d ago Nah - not even close. Kolbe has wrapped his leg and is dropping backwards away from the direction that JOC is trying to run. 16 secs in the video and it’s clear as day.
