No. I will not go back to Rhoads era tackling
I see an appeal coming.He clearly turned his head away and went shoulder to shoulder...
This is why I hate the targeting penalty, a lot of times the offensive player either initiates the contact with the helmet, or they are ducking as they get hit, and what was going to be a clean hit to the torso ends up being a hit in the head/neck area.
I understand wanting the violent head shots out of the game,but it’s just really hard to officiate.
Followed by no action but an apology letter.I see an appeal coming.
