They gotta change this crap, that was bang bang play. Led with shoulder. What the hell are you supposed to do as a defender?

I agree they need to change it but tha was textbook targeting. The thrust got him. “Launching forcibly into the head or neck area”

It was targeting based on the rule however the rule has to be changed.

Yeah I understand it's textbook, but it's a stupid rule.

A defender was trying to make a tackle, if he doesn't thrust and a receiver isn't slightly going down already. He gets bulldozed

I mean this is football

“ It was targeting based on the rule however the rule has to be changed.”(quote WD).

I love physical football but if it was my son taking that kind of hit I wouldn’t like it. Probably a prudent rule.

If this was targeting, the hit on Stockton was DEFINITELY targeting

Good targeting call. He t'd him up. I want to watch football minus unconscious people. Just wrap him up.

Then let your son play soccer or run track.

Targeting should be like any other personal foul. 2 and you're gone. You shouldn't get ejected for a bam bam play.

They're not going to change anything about the rule because of all the CTE stuff. Just do your best to continue getting used to it.

No adjustment for the offensive player ducking into the contact is bullshite

There was no thrust - the defender simply braced for impact.
