I understand the purpose behind trying to protect the players, but I think that there is a lot of gray area here.
How do they justify an ejection, when it takes so much analysis to determine the nature of each hit, especially when there are hits like that in every game? It's a fine line, and every ref is going to interpret things differently.

Agree, especially given that a questionable call under this rule has the potential to be a complete game changer. Ejections should be limited to the most egregious penalties such as leading with the crown of the helmet in an intentional helmet to helmet blow. Tossing a player for that is justifiable, but playing the interpretation game on lesser hits that carry an automatic ejection penalty is a problem.

My problem with this whole thing, is the "if in doubt, he is out". There is going to be a lot of doubt, because of how fast the game is, regardless of how many replay angles they can look at. I would also agree with Derek in saying that the Pac refs will screw this up on a regular basis.
