You players wearing shorts, and mouthpieces hanging from face masks like an air freshener from a review mirror. What will need to happen before they start enforcing players to put in their mouthpiece and players have to wear pants with leg and knee pads? Maybe some teeth knocked out or a banged up knee?
^^Because these are all self-imposed injures. If a guy get his teeth knocked right out, it’s kinda on him for hanging his MP on his face mask.
Targeting (while confusing as hell), is imposed by another player.

Then why do I constantly hear announcers overselling the "targeting is as much to protect the tackler as the ballcarrier" point?

A QB dropping his helmet into an incoming diving linebacker is also self-imposed.
