re: Understated here about Jayden Daniels targeting 1st drive. We score if it's called.

The rule was changed to leading with the crown of the helmet or lunging at the head or neck area. Being defenseless isn’t really what they look for now.

It’s both. Targeting is really two different fouls:
1. Forcible contact to head or neck area against a defenseless player
2. Leading with the crown of the helmet (against any player)

They really should have given the two fouls different names, IMO, because I can see how it causes a lot of confusion for fans who haven’t actually read the rule.

ETA: That said, I did not think it was targeting. Looked clean to me. Daniels was not a defenseless player and the defender didn’t lead with the crown of his helmet.

If Daniels had been in the pocket, I do believe that same hit would have been called targeting (because he would have been a defenseless player) but he wasn’t.
