You cannot lead with the head and make contact to the facemask / neck / head area with the qb. Its been like 4 years, you should have been able to grasp this at this point.

Wrong. You can't forcibly hit him in the head or neck and it requires that the player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact.


Nope.

The rule is this

quote:

No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul



Definition of defenseless players

quote:

Note 2: Defenseless player (Rule 2-27-14):

-A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.


Indicators

quote:

Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:.....

-Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area

-Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Both of the LSU hits were targeting. That's what the yellow flags mean.

You can ask Bama about whether pick play PIs should be called.

You never seethem called, so for consistency it definitely feels like yougot screwed. According to the rule though, pick plays should be PIs



it really wasn't even a pick play. one of the two MSU DBs initiated the contact with the receiver.

If you hit a defenseless player in the head or neck, intent is assumed

Intent isn't even part of the rule despite what BMY says

They won't call targeting on players ducking/crouching etc just because it isn't the traditional "neck/helmet area" It isn't about intent at all by the rule definition


BMY is just an idiot. SHouldn't be surprising, given he is a LSU fan

can you explain what about those two hits makes them not targeting?

They made initial contact with their helmet to the qb's facemask in the act of throwing. Are you saying the contact wasn't "forcible"?

God you're an idiot

Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact"

Clearly that wasn't the case in either of these situations. The ejection on 92 is embarrassingly bad.

None of them were targeting. Good job.


Why are you doing this to yourself, and to your fanbase? The rules have actually been cut-and-pasted here. There's really not a lot of ambiguity, so you're not going to magically convince people to see the hits going down in any way other than what actually appears on the screen. All fans bitch about reffing. It takes a special fan to actually post GIFs that prove he's wrong.

Definitely targeting.

I don't like the offensive PI call. The defender was in the direct path of the route (the receiver never changed direction). If you ask me, the only reason the flag was thrown was because the defender was so small and receiver bowled him over.

It isn't in the rule book, but that is how it is applied in practice and always has been...so the poster above is right, focusing on this is ridiculous
