The Targeting penalty is broken

The ejection aspect should be removed entirely

Yea, they need to completely do away with it. A Georgia defensive player tackled a back yesterday, and was speared by the running back, and they literally called targeting on the Georgia player.

The other hit on the receiver on the sideline was actually a perfect hit.

Targeting has gotten to the gay level.

There should definitely be a clause where the penalty is waived off if the offensive player also initiates contact with the crown of their helmet.

What I don't understand is you're taught a child to tackle by lowering your shoulders and going into the guys torso/ legs. Where the f*** is your head supposed to go?

The automatic ejection for targeting is the biggest bunch of bullshite I have ever seen

So many times they call it its just unavoidable

In the LSU Arky game, I was glad they actually waved off a targeting flag. It was obvious our guy was not aiming for his head or trying to do something nefarious. The receiver lowered his head but primary contact was shoulder to solar plexus. The announcers were all over it as targeting, but WHAT THE CRAP WAS OUR GUY SUPPOSED TO DO??? Ole’ him like a bull and let him run right by???!!! Those announcers were crap. We obviously got the practice squad as announcers last night.

I always thought "launching" had to be a big part of a targeting penalty but, last night, UGA got called for targeting for run of the mill helmet to helmet hits where the defender just lowered his head mid tackle.

I also thought targeting always had to be using helmet to make hit, but LSU defender got flagged for targeting when making hit with shoulder (reversed upon review).

If you weren’t up by 15 it doesn’t get called
