re: I’m still irrationally angry about the targeting on Sam

Sam’s play shouldn’t qualify for either.
I think Sam’s was in the grey area I’m talking about. There’s no way to measure what exactly is considered the “crown of the helmet”. They can use player safety as the reason, tack on 15 yards and be done with it. There’s no reason anyone should be ejected for a hit like that.

That’s the thing. There shouldn’t be a “grey area”.
Have a firm definition that’s applied consistently
And I’d argue Sam didn’t lead with the crown if his helmet. He lowered his head a little and the upper forehead hit the runners shoulder pad.
I view the crown of the helmet as the players head completely lowered and hitting with the very top of the helmet where all the force is transferred to the head and c spine.
