If you’re referring to the play I think you are, I don’t think Hall was a

defenseless player in that instance. I may not be 100% up on the rules (and the rules may not be 100% right) but they were both going at it, and Hall took the brunt of it on that play. If a player is being aggressive, which I think Hall was being, more or less, the targeting penalty doesn’t really apply.

That's why the crowd was booing so loud.

Hall knew it immediately and asked the refs to look at it. I don’t understand

Hard to get that call on a runner. If the same hit was on a RB nobody thinks

Not saying I agree with targeting, but that was targeting.

But not the kind that is called/penalized very often.

It’s for sure a conflicting part of the game. Happens at the LOS every play.

Not really. But it almost always does. Just like the second “late hit out of bounds” penalty last week.

Using the crown (or top) of your helmet to tackle is targeting regardless of whether ball carrier is “defenseless” or

In the open field, yes. In a scrum?

9/19/21 11:05am

BYU fans extra concerned because it was our QB & he's had concussion issues.

I don’t think they were in a scrum; I think it was one-on-one in the backfield. But regardless, what I was addressing is

I think we’re in agreement, more or less.

Though it was horrible tackling technique. Absolutely terrible. Face up always.

That’s why that’s part of the criteria for targeting.

Defenseless player? Not at all. It was a designed QB draw, he had become a RB

Yeah, not a defenseless player. But tackler still launched and led with crown

Hall just needed to lay still for a moment & act hurt & they would’ve called it.

He ain’t no soccer player though

TBH, we had a hit I thought could have been called targeting in the 4th. They

9/19/21 12:58pm

which play? I thought there were possibly two times he was targeted.

here's to hoping

The way he lowered his head to hit, I thought they should have called it to

I felt like Hall could have sold it a bit more, but somewhat glad he didn't take the soccer approach.
