There is “targeting” on 100% of football plays.

Yeah. Simple.

Dudes who have been playing the game for decades and make millions doing it haven’t been able to warp their bodies like they’re in the matrix to avoid any head contact ever, but I’m sure they’re just not trying hard enough.
They will figure it out, or they won’t play.

G-Dub’s angle. Obvious helmet-to-helmet hit. Plain and simple: this isn’t football, and you can’t do this. Tough break for White and LSU, but the rule is clear, and it doesn’t matter how much we don’t like it. You simply can’t do this in football anymore.

It’s not necessarily stupid to make targeting a thing, but it is beyond dumb to make it worse than a regular personal foul. The automatic ejection on first offense is what makes it such an idiotic, kneejerk rule.

I am just not seeing the same thing you are. That is absolutely a football play, I would find a late hit questionable

If helmets don’t exist, and you hit a guy in the quarterback with the crown of your skull, the quarterback loses teeth, and you have a gash in your head and may be done for the game and the next.

The logic of the rule is clear and easy to understand. The suspension simulates the consequences of a head-to-head hit without a helmet; when delivering a hit, you’re supposed to protect your head as if you aren’t wearing a helmet.

He dropped his head and hit the qb in the mouth. That isn’t football. Can’t play if you do that.

Lowering your head and hitting the ball carrier in the face with the crown of your helmet is not football, no matter how much we want it to be.

Where the frick was there helmet to helmet


we never got a side view.

Defender used both arms.

Common sense did not prevail.

Can this be appealed?

Well that's not the intent of the rule at all. It is impressive how you wove that tapestry of insanity in your head though.

The intent is to stop defenders from hitting with their heads. They will stop, or they won’t play, and you will deal with it no matter how much you don’t like it.

If shoulder pads didn't exist
If thigh pads didn't exist
If chest protectors didn't exist
If knee protection didn't exist
If shoes didn't exist
If mouthguards didn't exist

Your rambling was pointless

Your opinion doesn’t matter. There is a rule, and players will follow it, or they will sit.
