Of all the frames, this one seems most telling...(yet some still defending the call!!!??)

Clean Hit on Fitz

Can’t believe ANYONE who sees this could support the call

Defenseless player...check.

Contact to the head or neck area.....check.

Yes, targeting.

Even better image - not even contacting Fitz

Images don’t mean shite! He could have cut Fitz’ head off with a chain saw earlier.

The qb should have protected himself instead of throwing the ball. Sounds like it was his own fault.

No. Arm contact to the chest then incidental helmet contact as Fitz fell. Not targeting. I’d be ok with a personal foul call..it was possibly a second late....but honestly that was a no call.

Now that you admit it is targeting, you can work on changing the NCAA defenseless player definition.

Progress is being made.

Do you see the word “forcible” contact in EVERY instance of the targeting rule. You calling that hit “forcible” contact?

uhhhhhhhh, maybe you should read Note 1.


The bullet points are just indicators, a few of them. The rule is clearly defined. And White clearly broke it.

So if a Bama player pushes Joe B anywhere on the chest or higher it is targeting right?

Don’t see it... only see hands to the chest —not head or neck area and momentum carries it through. I’d like to see all frames in one post

Then 90% of tackles in football are “targeting”.

Negative

Unless that is some 2 foot halo around the head and neck area

Chest does not equal neck

Watch the video, look at the picture, connect the dots of what happened in between.

Or is that too much thinking for that tiny brain?

God damn yall are like teen age girls.

If Joe B throws a pass and is defenseless. That is point 1.

If the Bama player utilizes forcible contact, which can be defined as contact in excess of what a normal tackle would require (Paraphrasing, but that is basically it.) that is point 2

If the Bama player comes in high, and comes close to the head or neck area....point 3. Yes he should be called for targeting.

Look at any replay. He went in high, he did not have to, he hit him after the ball left.....he got the call that he earned.

Nope. It was a legal tackle.
