I understand what you're getting at, but I can imagine that in that environment / at that level of competition those are bang-bang plays. Turner was 1 yard from Daniels when he threw the ball. Whether you think it was targeting / not targeting, I think its a bit silly to assume that there was malicious intent. Sure he can learn from it, and I'm sure he will regardless of the call... but split second decisions in a huge game are exactly that, split second.

Alot of plays/players have been called for targeting that did not have malicious intent. The rule was put in place to make players think twice before even coming close to another players helmet with there own helmet. Bang, bang play or not, it doesn't matter.
It seems to have made a difference because I haven't seen hardly any targeting calls called this year on DBs angainst WRs. Used to see 1 or 2 a game it seems.

Don’t believe it was ever targeting. Roughing…yes. Turner driving Daniels into the ground was completely unnecessary. He rode him into the ground. Just dirty football.
