Not targeting

Advertisement
It definitely wasn't targeting. Sometimes guys jump over players to avoid certain hits. He barely touched him, so in my eyes that was a BS call.

Jenkins was one of the best D players on the field today in the 1st half.
 
This isn't a new rule. You can't launch at someone's head. Wether he made contact or not, it was a dumb play.

To go along with the other 20 personal fouls. If you're going to do it, mine as well crush the dude(not in the head) and make them scared to go over the middle.
 
It's **** like that that's making me like football less and less every day. The only part that made contact with his head was Jenkins hand but because dudes head moved a little bit while being dragged down, they threw the flag.

The Powers that be in football don't give a **** about actually helping players or making the game "safer", they just want flag anything that looks halfway bad so the public will shut up about safety.

He didn't launch at this head he was trying to jump over the dude.

What's the difference. It was still dumb within the confines of the rule. If it looks like targeting then it's targeting.

He definitely wasn't making a play on the ball, which would've been nice.

At least he was making tackles. He was hitting guys in space when LBs were nowhere to be found.

I just watched a guy lead with and hit Herb Waters helmet to helmet.... and no flag. I'm having a hard time understanding why that wouldn't be called.

Helmets touch other helmets on virtually every play. It's when you leave your feet and launch yourself head first....that's targeting.

OK... I didn't realize that leaving your feet was a requirement on helmet to helmet. It's hard for me to continue to watch this mess.
