Targeting Call...

I think it was the wrong call...Feet were still on ground as he made contact, he did not go to head or neck area and he did not lower his head.
Amazing hit, but not targeting.

"No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul.
This specifies a hit with the top of the helmet, but not necessarily a hit to the opponent’s helmet.
The next item in the rulebook, including the aforementioned "Note 1," which explains the many additional situations in which all kinds of hits are considered targeting:
No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)
Note 1: "Targeting" means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:
- Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
- A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
- Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
- Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet"

It is designed to protect defensive players from paralyzing themselves.
Call it the Curtis Williams rule.
The two in the booth we're worse than ever though.
*kept
*were
Second, while IRDGAF, but he absolutely did lower his head and used the crown of his helmet in the guy's chest doogersonmcdoog. again, IRDGAF about either kid, but the rule's there to protect both players. it's a dangerous way to tackle ... ok, bring it.
PS: Chuck Cecil at Arizona (and the NFL) used to hit like that on every tackle. The guy was and is a crazy motherfucker, but also a lucky one. The guy's picture should be in the dictionary next "targeting".
of the helmet to me. Plus even if it's borderline, I'd rather
protect the players from themselves. We REALLY don't
need any more Curtis Williams tragedies just so losers like
us can say "great hit". Fuck that. I'll take the suspension and
penalty any time.
So will JoJo be there to chintimidate the entire cuogs fleet of receivers
