That's not what I'm saying at all.
I'm saying that in the case of a "near hit", refs are going to be forced to use judgement calls to determine "intent".
Trash talking, yes, but there was a LOT last night. Excessive amounts, considering it was Rice.
And it was irrelevant if Deshazor himself did any jawing - he's the one who laid out the hit.
I'm not defending the refs, only giving some insight into why they might throw the flag sometimes and not others - the very ambiguous nature of "intent".

Thing was, it WASN'T a "near hit". It didn't match the definition of targeting at all. I get that you're not defending the refs, but there's ALWAYS going to be trash talking. If refs use that as reason to start calling targeting, then it's going be an even bigger clusterfrick than I'd anticipated.

Actually there's usually a lot of trash talking in these types of games. Rice players were chirping the whole game, that's just not getting any media play.
