Initially I was "oh my another handcuff for the defense" but after thinking about it I had a change of mind. I believe the hip drop process is used because the defensive player did not position himself well enough to efficiently tackle the offensive player. It is a failure of tackling technique, a kind of a desperation move. This was somewhat confirmed on 1010 by coach Campo. He pointed to the lack of time these days to properly teach and coach players up. Well, we will see this year.
