Targeting is a dumb rule. Targeting reviews stop the game and interrupt the flow of a game experience that’s already being butchered by tv commercials.
However, if we’re going to have a rule, it should be enforced in a relatively consistent manner. By the rules, the play appeared to be targeting. However, there was another play on the next drive by LSU which could have also been flagged for targeting, but wasn’t.
If we cannot get a consistent enforcement because the penalized behavior itself is simply too nebulous and difficult to ascertain, then the rule should not exist. However, if there is a rule, it should be enforced. The fact that it was not even reviewed, when there is a mechanism with multiple checks in place to make sure these sorts of things are reviewed, fuels the conspiratorial argument that Alabama consistently benefits from favorable treatment by officials.

This is the first logical response I've seen to any of these threads. Enforce it, or don't. Consistency is key.
Now you specifically cited two times where targeting could have occurred, and the officials were at least consistent in NOT calling it. And Brian Kelly did admit that the potential targeting on JD5 was reviewed...

No no. Make no mistake, HRV is trying to usurp my campaign for worst poster 2023-2024.
Recent polls show he's still way behind though.

To think you spent nearly two days conjuring up this dumpster fire of a thread, makes me think you’ve been on the receiving end of helmet to helmet quite a few times.

football is a social construct.
there is no football found in nature.

They need to remove the specific area rules and just add it as a penalty when it's obvious that a players is trying to injury another player. Even stuff like fingers gouging in the mask and twisting body parts, etc. Same penalty as now but with the added stipulation that the player sit out if the other is injured (multiple games) as long as the player they intentionally injured is.
These types of plays are clear and not the same as tackling hard or in certain spots.
