Refs are going nuts with targeting calls

[ThreatMatrix]

Three games three ejections so far.

None of them looked that egregious. But if Danielson mentions wrapping up one more time as if it changes targeting I'm going to mute him.

The UGA one was CLEARLY targeting. Crown of helmet to the chin. But overall, yes I'd agree

 

[rogdochar]

Players will have to adjust ?

 

[crosscreekcooter]

chubby needs his legs targeted

 

[MJMGator]

I still think it's a dumb ****ing rule. Give the 15 yard penalty, but the ejection is pure BS.

I really don't think they should get ejected either. I'd be willing to compromise at two targeting fouls in one game and you're ejected. One is just silly. Any of us that have played football know these things happen at 100mph and it's very easy to "target" accidentally.

That one of FSucks was clearly helmet to helmet and looked like a clip to me.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Great!!!! Anything to cut down on concussions and neck injuries.

I played a lot of tackle football, Just tackle them. Aiming for the head is stupid.

Anyone that's played football would be against targeting. Guys putting their shoulder into anything other than the other than shoulders or above on the guy they're hitting is going to result in a dislocated shoulder on the guy hitting or a knee injury on the guy getting hit. Besides a safety coming across a receiver going after a ball there shouldn't be targeting. A crack back block should NEVER be considered targeting. I hate FSU almost as much a a dog but that block on the punt was legal and I'd be waiting on the ref after the game if I got tossed for that block.

It makes one wonder why they are cracking down so hard on the helmet to helmet. Is there some research behind the scenes that says that H2H is extremely bad for the brain?

Maybe you can just hit him from behind like those kids in Texas. Thumbs up!

The only way to make them change is to disqualify them if it is truly a hit to the head. I saw one today that should have been reversed by the booth, but it wasn't.

UCF Stanford, #7 Stanford ejected 1st Q targeting..... He used the crown of his helmet on a recieiver already engaged
