It's targeting by rule, but the tough thing is if the QB doesn't crouch in reaction then it's just a hit to the body. Only option is to go even lower, but then it can effect your ability to make a tackle too.
@davidlamb1234515 күн бұрын
then if you go lower, the QB turned his body into the path, so it would definitely be targeting even if into the chest. If he goes further to the side, the QB side-steps him. no-win situation for the DB.
@heidimark15 күн бұрын
Exactly my thought. At the moment the DB began his tackle, the QB began to crouch and turn his helmet. It would have initially been a clean hit, but by the time contact was made the QB's helmet was low enough to receive contact. If the DB launched any lower, he could have hit the QB in the knees and be called for that.

@@beng4151tf are you talking about? Nothing was normal about that tackle. He had a frozen target, made a lot of helmet contact, then intentionally drove all of his body weight into the head/neck area to make sure that’s the part that got crushed on impact with the ground. This would’ve been a flag 15 years ago, it was the most blatant example of malicious intent I’ve seen in forever. Any defensive player worth his salt can wrap a frozen target up around the chest or shoulder area and bring them down without putting that much trauma on the head.

@AndrewH1220 this may have been a penalty, but it was not a dirty play. Defenses are taught to be aggressive, so it's very difficult to gauge how a QB is going to brace for impact. If we go by your logic, there would be "dirty" plays anytime a defensive player misses the football when kickers are attempting field goals and the defense takes the kickers legs out from under him.
