With these targeting calls, one can make an argument a physical RB is targeting by lowering his head to gain extra yards but we know that is never called. Unless a defender truly leads with the helmet or obviously intends to take an offensive players head off, then there should be no targeting. Helmet to helmet contact happens all the time so that shouldn't be a criteria of targeting.

I'm not sure what is/sin't targeting anymore. The no call on last 25 second -- AirForceHokie77 Jan 01, 2023 at 01:31 PM ET
