Doesn't matter if you "let up" if the action still occurs.

If you "let up" but still end up hitting a guy out of bounds it is still a late hit, even if the force wasn't as bad as it could have been



it doesn't matter for late hits out of bounds. but it does matter for targeting.

the rule requires:
1) taking aim for the purposes of attacking with forcible contact
2) delivering that forcible contact to the head or neck area

Because the bigger story is a 30 point arse beating delivered by MSU



Even wwhen they happened, everyone thought it was properly officiated.

People may disagree with howthe rule is written, but they were properly called

The WR purposefully ran into the db to block him from coverage allowing 7 to run free, classic pick play.


You can't say that, though. The WR ran a straight line. Never once did he change direction in an attempt to block a player. Never once did he do anything other than run his hard slant.

The defender took a low tackling position against the receiver (that is a move to impede the receiver) and the defender got trucked because he is a tiny piece of shite. If the defender was bigger than the receiver and knocked the receiver down, it would have been called the other direction because it was the defender who took a position to make contact (i.e. looks like he is going to form tackle the receiver before contact).

This meeting the definition of targeting and warranting an ejection clearly is not in the rulebook. Replay official confirming it should be suspended.

7 pages. I don't understand why people engage with this dumbass. It's like trying to have a debate with a two week old head of cabbage.

Yes, he did. The defender initiated contact making it a horrendous call.

It's always fun watching people walk their initial argument back when they realize they don't know the rules or that the rule was improperly applied. Or they just vanish.

Don't all defensive players take aim at an opponent for the purposes of attacking with forceable contact? It's what they do.

They don't all do it with their helmets though.

You can see his head snap to the side from the helmet to helmet hit he took from the defender.

You can't clearly see that before he hits his head.

Certainly nothing hits his chest before his head.

True. And that arse whipping doesn't change that these calls were terrible.

If you'll excuse me.. I'm busy watching the saints get their asses beat

The right calls. You might not agree they should be targeting, but if you want to argue that, argue with the NCAA. The refs were only following NCAA rules. That sort of helmet to helmet hit, especially when they're leading with the crown, is a legitimate targeting penalty. The only question here is should, not whether.


I think we're disagreeing over what the "crown" of a football helmet actually is. To me, if it's facemask-to-facemask contact, then by definition, it's not leading with the crown.

Regarding helmet-to-helmet, if that's the rules, then that's the rules, and I don't care so much about the personal fouls... but the ejections are just an absurd result, no matter how I look at it. That's just not targeting to me.

In the first case, the LSU player held back some on purpose and didn't hit the QB with full force. It almost looked like a half-speed drill. In the second case, there was no lowering of the head or coiling at all--where else is the D-lineman going to go on that play?

I mean, you've probably got the better point here about the should/whether distinction, but it's just a very weird end result. I can't see myself being a replay official arguing for an ejection in either case.

i posted the other one. 92 was ejected for targeting despite minor contact being clearly delivered to the chest. he didn't even extend his arms to push



Ok. the gifs weren't working earlier for me, they are working now. The gif reaffirms my saying that 48 was a textbook targeting and the second one is a horrible example of using a video/gif to make your argument. From that angle it looks like a target but another angle might be a better angle for your argument unless you are goofing.

The pick play was pretty bad too.
