Targeting or Not targeting. The most subjective call in Football
and is also the most damaging because it is almost always subjective. Results in an ejection and DQ'ing for the 1st half of next game. And also, it is the only concept in football where an official can go back and throw a flag after reviewing tape.
One-Hit-Wonder Doug Flutie was harping on that on the last drive when Kizer went down. Edmunds or Hill hit him with the shoulder to the head. Brian Kelly was complaining about it in his presser as well.
Personally, every one that I have seen this season (and I havnt seen them all) seemed iffy, Where the Defender was already committed to a tackling "angle" and the runner dipped their head.
The spirit of the rule is good, the execution is ALL over the place.
