re: Targeting rule good or bad...

Flipped over to ESPN and caught Clemson vs Alabama Natty game on.

I have seen 2 targeting calls ( if today’s rules apply) just in 3rd quarter, that would be ejections. Both by defensive stars.

Boulware & Foster

Interesting, to reflect on old games and see the leading with helmet, I guess I kinda see why they trying to clean that up.

I'd like to see these plays you are talking about, because the #1 thing I've learned about targeting over the years is that most people don't really understand what is targeting and what is not.

Sadly, the refs seem to fall into that category more times than not.

The most common problem is people don't understand a guy running with the ball is not defenseless.
