That's a fundamentally broken rule, because by definition of tackling you're going to land on the player you're tackling with your body weight.  It's the excessiveness that is the issue, not the fact that you're landing on the QB or whatever.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Do you not think they were both bad calls on Matthews? I think the new rule is broken because they went from the old lift and plant standard, to something like "excessive" which is simply too broad.If I was Matthews, I'd be sorely tempted to start getting my fifteen yards worth...

But anybody can create a rule and throw flags for violating it. I can come up with dozens. The problem is creating a rule that still allows for natural gameplay physics to happen.

Not sure what your position is, either. Clarify?
