Possible rules changes...

[QuattroCane]

• Suspend a player for the entire next game for a second targeting call in the same season
• no more two man wedge on KO's
• after 5th OT go to 2pt conversion attempts
• no more blindside blocks, now a 15yrd PF

Football Rules Committee proposes modifying targeting protocols

The NCAA Football Rules Committee met this week in Indianapolis and recommended two adjustments to its targeting rules to strengthen one of the most important calls of the game.

For an entire game? GTFOOH

 

[pickney]

wtf these are all terrible

Suspend a player for the entire next game for a targeting call

They're going to the opposite way with this targeting BS, they need to just get rid of the penalty altogether.

 

[Captain Uberpants]

They need to have different levels for targeting. Getting ejected and suspended because the runner ducked his head is horse ****.

 

[Dingaan1828]

Why don't they eliminate blocking, tackling, and sweating profusely?

My biggest issue with targeting as well. It's supposed to be called both ways, but it almost never is.

Looks like they might be trying to clean up the call overall. replay will have to confirm the call, not just let the call stand, which could help.

"Instant replay officials will be directed to examine all aspects of the play and confirm the foul when all elements of targeting are present. If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, then the replay official will overturn the targeting foul. There will not be an option for letting the call on the field stand during a targeting review."

Pretty soon those kids will be forced to wear helmets, god forbid they collide heads on a vicious grab of one's flag.

What’s up with the purple people eater in the back with his mouth open?!? Looks like he just got kicked in da nutz

 

[For_The_U]

No more blindside blocks?!? What are you supposed to do then if you need to block a guy and he isn't looking at you? You have to just let him pass untouched?

 

[miamicanephins]

Terrible changes.

Most of the targeting calls Ive seen, I feel they get wrong.

And the two man wedge????

 

[nystateofmind]

The kickoff one is very good.

Would make returns more exciting.

 

[L A M P]

Hopefully this is just talk. No crackbacks?? Let's just wear skirts & play tag.

 

[Cookie917]

ST would have been suspended **** near a whole year if these rules were in place when he was here.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Look at combine numbers some of these guys are putting up. Players are getting generationally bigger, stronger and faster in a matter of years not decades. They have to do everything they can to protect the players from some of the massive and unnecessary hits wherever possible or this game as we know it will cease to exist in our lifetime.

Got no issue with making the game safer. Im actually all for it. They have to do it smarter than they’re doing it. The targeting rule is a joke. There’s better ways to make the game less damaging for players.

 

[Alien]

I understand the targeting rule but it’s fcukin ridiculous most times. Now the crack back block rule is just plain stupid. I’m guessing they want a player to just block softer or just move out of the way. Stupid already

 

[moshated305]

Isn't it 2 point after 2nd OT? They are trying to make games longer?

 

[miamicanephins]

Why?

I thought they were thinking of eliminating the kickoff completely.
