Wrong. When the helmets collide after contact it isn't targeting


The rule is targeting a defenseless player above the shoulder. The helmet to helmet thing is a clear indicator but not the point of the rule. You can hit a defenseless player in the head with your shoulder and be ejected for targeting.

It is remarkable how many people don't understand this. It happens literally every time a player is ejected for targeting on this board.

you are incorrect.

Rule 9-1-3: Targeting and initiating contact with the crown of the helmet. No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.

Rule 9-1-4: Targeting and initiating contact to head or neck area of a defenseless player. No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul.

Contact was initiated with the shoulder to the chest...helmet to helmet was incidental.

Do you even realize that the information you posted supports what I've been saying? Wow you are not too smart.

No, 84's shoulder made contact with the front of the Wisconsin players left shoulder, not above it.

That part is up for interpretation, I guess. The refs and replay officials thought he was.

I think the defenseless part is what they used, not location of hit.

I think it's a bad call. As IMO he had made a play to chase the carrier.

If the play happened on the other side of the field it's nothing more than a great block.
