So targeting is....

[Putbacks]

Orange Is the New Targeting starring the Tennessee defense....regardless.

 

[rjd970]

It was targeting by the rule, but the rule sucks.

 

[rjd970]

No penalty if he plays for Bama.

I’m 100% convinced of this.

 

[Valencia]

It was targeting

was not...

I said before Middleton is 6'7" tall. All players have to bend their knees to make a tackle. If Middleton doesn't bend his knees then he is coming in high. Then they get him for hands to the face. It was a no win situation for the player. If you are Middleton to make that tackle 10 times out of 10 because the goal is to disrupt the pass. Football rules are hurting the true competitiveness of the game.

Guess we need to start recruiting 5’ 5” 340 pounders that are 5 ‘ wide

The NFL should redesign QB uniforms to make helmets and any “can’t hit” areas red. And equip with sensors to automatically signal a penalty if you hit there.

Good things can happen when you throw deep

 

[wmcovol]

Anyone wanna bet that’s not a late hit on Tennessee?

 

[The Ron Mexico]

If the rule was truly about player safety, offensive players wouldn’t be able to do it either. Why is it safer for an offensive player to lead with his helmet?

 

[90 Vol]

Well, that’s ball game. Whoever wins the 1st half of the 3rd quarter usually wins the game. We flopped.

 

[Putbacks]

There you go. The refs don’t give a damn about Tennessee players neurologically.

People can hate the rules, nothing wrong with not liking it.

However when you hit a QB in the helmet with your helmet......it’s targeting.

How about the targeting on Byrd head to head just now I can hate the rule but it wasn’t called OK. It’s UT does not apply

I can’t say if that was or not, but it wasn’t a QB who wasn’t on the run......slight difference.

It did seem quite a bit late.

 

[wmcovol]

Matt Austin is a dick again!

 

[Wylo]

It was targeting

This. Actually a very easy call to make.

Late? Ya think?

 

[wmcovol]

Refs aren’t gonna piss SC AD off today.

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

So JG got hit with CROWN OF HELMET right under his chinstrap...with no penalty. Zero consistency.

[JoAllan]

Late? Ya think?

Yea I do think.

What would you have me say?

 

[wmcovol]

Thompson don’t want to hit.

 

[OrangeMagic]

That was as textbook targeting as you can get, it doesn't get much more obvious than that.

 

[VolDaddy61]

I hate to keep bringing up the refs, in part because we have the benefit of "instant replay", but dang, they're horrible ! Just missing obvious, egregious penalties. I'm proud of the boys for staying focused and not letting it effect them. Kudos to Coach Pruitt for chewing them a new one.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

But it’s fine for a running back to lower his head and smash defenders. If the helmets are in the way eliminate them.

 

[alaVOL]

Maurer was popped on the helmet by the defender’s helmet last week, but it wasn’t targeting.

That was by the conference golden child. What did you expect?
