There is no such thing as a tackle box in FED, and horsecollar tackles are not allowed anywhere.

In all honesty, I never understood the sense of HC penalty to begin with. I think it's even more of a sham having designated "legal areas", to boot in NCAA/Pro.
Speaking of tackle box, I'd kick myself if I didn't mention I actually had a JV coach telling his QB to "throw it away" a few weeks back when he was getting pressured and risked a sack like 15 yards behind the LOS after a shotgun snap over the kid's head. They ended up punting on the next play on a 4th and 30+ after all was said and done.
"But sir....he was out of the tackle box!" Good stuff.
