Changes hopefully coming to ridiculous targeting rules.

Amari & Gurvan will benefit greatly from fixing this insane rule.

Being able to knock the sh*t out of players & detach them from the ball is an essential part of the game, they need to stop over leglislating Football.

Agreed. That doesn't seem like a penalty to me.

Pretty sure that's what Finebaum's geeky *** would look like if he put on regular shoulder pads

The rule is too subjective

We got screwed twice this year because of it

There was clear "targeting" in the Bama-Clemson game where the Bama defender should've been ejected (per the rule), and it wasn't even reviewed

There should be 2 tiers of the penalty, much like a flagrant foul in basketball



For reference, this wasn't reviewed:

There is no way that an Alabama player is getting kicked out of the game for targeting!

Agreed. My consistent comment has been "do you know how hard it is to aim at someone in a live play?" It's nuts. Even at lower levels than what these guys play, GTFO if you tell me you can, in a 1 second moment, diagnose a square in, move toward it, and perfectly hit with your shoulder. All while a WR contorts and even ducks. I get legislating the extremely obvious spears, but a lot of these are guys trying to hit with their shoulders and ending up missing because things happened too quickly or someone moved.

You nailed it. When WR (RB, etc) lower themselves to.protect themselves, the ball, or reach for extra yardage, there's no negative consequences for them, but there's almost zero chance for defensive player to change his trajectory at that point. I get protecting a "defenseless player," but the rest of it is BS. As mentioned by others, when Bandy, who I absolutely love, would fly around the field, I'd always cringe worrying about a flag/ejection. Hope this rule is changed.

I saw that play live and couldn't believe they didn't call targeting on Alabama, especially when it was obvious and committed against a superstar player.

We got screwed in which two games? I recall getting hosed against LSU...which other game? Probably one of our many losses.

Make it like unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. Two and you're out, with a suspension of next game.
