re: Thoughts on new rule change for this season regarding defenseless player

The initial implementation of the first targeting rule was absolute horseshite. Even if the call was reversed the player was ejected. There were also too many "just in case" flags thrown.

Even after they cleaned up the ejection issue, the "just in case" flag remains. The refs on the field kick the can up to the booth and that is that.

The same will happen with these slides. I don't like it one bit, as I'm defensive centric.
