It's not the rule anymore. It's a 6" circle at the top of the helmet. They would have never seen that on replay.

Just off the top of my head with an example nowhere near a offensive players head?

I thought it was live, watched the replay and saw it wasn’t.

Great play by the safety, saved the game. Without that it’s probably get the ball back with about a minute to go and no time outs needing to drive the length of the field to score.

Can someone explain this?

I cant wait for the games today to see how many time I can call targeting every time a player’s helmet makes contact with another player during a tackle.

Rules for targeting are different while in the pocket.
Also that was a good clean hit.
The qb ducks his head to prepare tomorrow contact and got his face mask hit.

If that's the play we're talking about, I don't agree that it is targeting.

It was a good hard clean hit. I had no problem at all with the no call.

After a night’s sleep and rewatching the replay multiple times, I also am good with the no call. The reason everyone is having a cow right now is because the rule sucks and is inconsistently applied, and because there’s a sense Georgia got a win it didn’t deserve last night.

Both responses to you. I will save you the trouble of searching and post them again.



LSU player Sevyn Banks ejected for targeting as he is carried off the field on a stretcher.

Or maybe you're intentionally overlooking these examples because you don't understand the rule. I'm glad they didn't call it on Georgia last night. It's a dumb rule and I wanted UGA to win. The fact is that it was targeting by rule and it's been called that way fairly often now.

Clean hit. Football's a rough and fast sport. Some targeting calls are ridiculous.

Do you enjoy being wrong all the time??

I love these posts. Guy quotes someone making a correct statement and asks if they enjoy being wrong.
