Nebraska Cornhuskers WR Kenny Bell criticizes targeting rule - ESPN

 

[blkflagmafia]

He saying the truth next year this rule won't be here

A lot of coaches don't like it at all about 90% are fine football hits only the rest have actually been dangerous

That rule is for the birds and is stupid

 

[jedburks]

The rule will still be there next year.

The main thing that I want changed if the rule stays is if they review it and they deem it wasn't targeting then the penalty should be picked up.

Right now they review it to see if the player is ejected or not. Well if they reverse the ejection then doesn't that mean it was an ok hit? If so then why the 15 yard penalty for a simple legal hard hit? I know you can't review penalties but with something like this where you are already reviewing it automatically then that part has to change!!!!

I think there is good chance it gets changed or Goes away

The point you mention has been huge debate already
Second the consistency is a big question I've seen big hit with nothing then some ok hits and players are done for the day.

Get rid of the rule! It's football for heaven sake

 

[Exorbitant]

It's a bad rule and it gives the officials too much power, period!

 

[White Rat]

I really don't mind the rule as long as they call it correctly. The hits that SJB had or Bradley Roby from the OSU/Iowa game never should have been called in the first place and both players should have stayed in their games. Hits like the one Eric Martin laid on that kick returner a year or two ago would be one to be penalized for.

If they actually call the legitimate targeting plays, I have no problem whatsoever, just don't make shit up. I think they have to keep the rule in place but they need to modify what they consider targeting.

Actually that Roby play falls into the rules. At least to an extent it does. The big thing Roby did wrong is that he "launched" himself. If he would have stayed on his feet then he probably would have stayed in the game.

I think it has a good chance of being changed because people like Nick Saban hates that if the ejection is reversed then the penalty stands.

If they want to make it a 5 yard penalty with an automatic first down, fine whatever. But 15 yards is a killer for a legal hit.

It should be called both ways if they are gonna keep the fucked up rule. What happens when a RB dives over the line and hits a LB in the face? He gets a touchdown, hi-fives and a BJ from a cheerleader.

Can we wait a few days? Our grand daughters are coming up to visit this weekend and we haven't seen them in a couple of months. About Monday me and grandma will be ready to die from exhaustion anyway.

A defenseless defensive player? Is that possible?

"Defenseless player" could quite possibly be my biggest pet peeve phrase in all of football.

Do they all wear pads? Do they all wear helmets? Are they between the white lines? Is there a play going on? Do they all know the game? The answer to all of those is yes!!!! He is not defenseless!!!!!!!

He may be careless for not paying attention but he sure as shit is not defenseless!!!!
