that it doesn’t have to be contact to a defenseless player. If the forcible contact is made with the crown of the helmet it is targeting according to the rule. This is the part of the rule that is designed to help keep tacklers safe.

“-A player lowering his head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet.“

I’m not even saying this play was targeting. I even said to my friend sitting next to me, “they might call that targeting on replay, but I think it was a perfect football play”

But if they threw the flag, that would be the basis, not the defenseless player condition.

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?

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

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.

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

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.
