Jones' Ejection Hit

I must have been a little to drunk in the game to remember this hit live, but when going back and watching a few times I still am having trouble seeing this as "Targeting"
Now i could see a personal foul for hitting to high on a QB given that the rules are out there to protect QB's.
I just didnt think it was a hit worthy of an ejection.
What say the rant?

He left his feet and had time to pull off the hit after the ball was thrown.
Tight call. But it was a fair call.

It was targeting

have seen that kind of hit go uncalled for years and years, usually is just a good hit on the qb.
nowadays, you pretty much have to aim for the qb's torso in order for it to be legal, and if you completely launch yourself, it'd be targeting too, as the qb would be deemed defenseless.

Right call. It was worth it imo

Maybe I am wearing purple glasses but I see that hit all the time.
Tight? Yes. Ejection? No way.

He left his feet and hit the side of Johnson's helmet with his shoulder pad. That was a legit call and I'd want that call if someone did the same to Harris.

It wasn't helmet-to-helmet, but he did appear to launch his shoulders into JJ's neck/head

This.
As soon as it happened, I turned to my buddy next to me and said "He's out".

It was an above the shoulder hit. So as the rule reads, it was the right call. That said, the rule as it reads is horse shite and should be edited.

no way that should be worth an ejection. 15 yards maybe.
Posted on 9/21/15 at 9:45 am to white_mj
if he hadn't left his feet he wouldn't have been ejected

This is where the rule confused me. I thought targeting was leaving your feet, leading with your helmet, and hitting the other player in the head.
Since he lead really with his shoulder (IMO, which granted could be sh*t) I didnt think it was the exact definition of targeting.
That being said, i guess yall are right I would be happy to see an opposing team's defender ejected for that hit on Harris.

It was a stupid play on Jones part. Hopefully he learns from it.

Nkemdiche's hit on Bama's QB looked much worse that Jones' hit FWIW

Left his feet and made contact above the neck. That's textbook ejection material under the new rules.
