Big 10 gets Targeting correct, why the hell can't the SEC?

[Vol Kilmer]

Missed two the last two weeks vs. us. It's pathetic. These DBs and Safeties are plotting these hits, yet no ref will even look at the hits. Can Pruitt not challenge those kinds of non-calls, or is it solely up to the refs?

Might be able to get an FBI review... that was a nasty hit today and they flat missed it.

If you’re talking about he targeting call on Ohio State against the PSU receiver then I’ll say for the record that wa a BS call. The OSU DB hit him with his shoulder and it was plain to see on video

 

[UrbanCryer]

You can bet if we were the ones doing the hitting it would be called

 

[ATLVols]

I hate the ejection part of that rule. Wish they would get rid of it.

I hate targeting. Most of the time it's inadvertent, I don't know how your supposed to hit these receivers when they dip their shoulder and get low. I'm all for removing intentional headhunting. But this business of giving penalties on unintentional head contact is garbage. I feel that these people who make the rules have never played a down in their life, and simply don't understand how fast football is. It's hard to hit a moving player it's even harder to perfectly aim your hit to never make head contact

I hate it for us,, but I like that they don't call targeting on every big hit.

 

[TNnative]

Screw targeting.


AND the horse it rode in on.

That and the suspension for the following week if it happens in the second half. Penalize them and move on with it. 9/10 times it's not done purposely.

Even if with the shoulder you can’t hit a defenseless receiver in the head. It doesn’t have to be helmet to helmet. Any hit to the head will do.

it's still subjective calling...refs definitely don't get it right all the time...especially when we play, it seems...

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
