“Yeah, thats shoulder” as the entire helmet jolts and you see helmet to helmet contact on the replay 😂 some of these announcers are absolutely blind

[@omni_mtb3210]

I remember watching this live, the announcers we had were different, but I've seen this clip and it pisses me off that they tried to play it off

[@SaintDamain]

There’s important context here. “Targeting” is where you *lead* with your helmet. If there’s incidental helmet to helmet contact, that’s not targeting and as long as you lead with your shoulder you tackled correctly. Jayden lead with his shoulder and turned his helmet away but both didn’t need to make the tackle because the ballcarrier was already out of bounds, and did not get his helmet out of the way nearly early enough. So *technically* it was a shoulder tackle with incidental helmet contact. That’s why the announcer said it was shoulder. Jayden wasn’t targeting but he also wasn’t trying hard enough not to target.

[@omni_mtb3210]

His helmet did hit first though, I'm not saying I can't be wrong, but it certainly looks like his helmet makes contact before his shoulder.

[@SaintDamain]

@@omni_mtb3210 The only thing I ask is to try and understand how difficult a game this is. It’s a violent sport that requires the players to make a bunch of split second decisions. Especially while your job is on the line every time you’re on the field. There’s players out there like Jonathan Vilma and Bobbie McCray that were always trying to hurt their opponents best players, and then there’s DBs like Jayden that didn’t move their head out of the way in time. They’re not the same.

[@omni_mtb3210]

@SaintDamain I certainly do understand how grueling the game is. I understand everyone makes mistakes, games boil down to who makes the least mistakes. I understand accidents happen and that most players don't necessarily try to hurt others, but at the end of the day you do have to keep that in mind. In my opinion it was targeting whether he meant to or not. I wish I could've played this sport to get a better understanding.

[@MaGiKFuNgUs57]

16:50 is one of the hardest, cleanest hits I’ve ever seen. Absolutely nothing dirty about it, just a good hard football play.

[@noyou9379]

talking about the initial hit. If you threw targeting for every time helmets hit you wouldn't have enough players to play the game on any football team. The initial hit is shoulder which causes the helmet to jerk. Auburn is enough of a dirty team to warrant a list of their own against numerous teams.

[@jeremykisling8176]

I’m a Arkansas fan and he clearly hit the front of his helmet then hit his shoulder pad!! I’m embarrassed that 2 or 3 of these highlights on here are Arkansas players I’m stunned that they would hit people literally out of bounds totally uncalled for no wonder they can’t win games and have a 10 win season much less a 2 win season 😂

[@dawsonbosco8217]

The Wade hit is always one that just makes me angry. I don't know if it is because of the commentator shaming the heck out of him for the dirty hit that helps spark a fire, but any time I hear/read the term "dirty hit" this is the one that pops into my mind first (for football at least. First thought that comes to mind is Raffi Torres from the NHL)

[@michaelfalkner1186]

That first one did have head contact, and hence came under the ejection rules. The prominent late contact was shoulder, but especially since it was a dirty hit to begin with, the additional head contact was not going to be excused.

[@TheCrazyMoparDude68]

No, it doesn’t work like that. Incidental head to head contact isn’t targeting, and nothing the defender did was targeting. You cannot defy the laws of physics, a body in motion will remain in motion until acted upon.

[@benscoles5085]

@@TheCrazyMoparDude68 Glad to read someone who has that understanding of Physics, You are correct in saying that, a few of these hits are avoidable, but sometimes the laws of motion, mass, cause these late hits, let alone if they step out of bounds one second before the defensive impact, or qb slides when they are already facemask to facemask,

[@aidanfrank1870]

[@TheCrazyMoparDude68]

Those calls for roughing the passer when the QB slides are complete BS! How are defensive players supposed to stop their momentum in a split second when the QB decides to “give up”. And what is worse is that most of the time when it is head to head contact it is because the QB was suddenly “lower” to the ground than when the defensive player first made his move. They need to take away the slide rule for QBs and treat them like any other player in the field. If they are afraid that the QB can’t take the hit, then they need to get tougher QBs or just start playing flag football.

[@chuchulainn9275]

Agreed. Some of those calls seemed like penalizing after forward momentum has reached a point of no return.

When the QB runs around and then suddenly decides to kneel down, it is hard for defenders to stop their motion. They need to take away the kneeling rule and the sliding rule.

[@thomaskeane5723]

You have to add the Khari Johnson hit - BC versus Pitt. Pretty much the definition of targeting.

[@rumpwrangler1102]

Yes, that is the exact definition for targeting. I also don’t think the Tennessee hit on Florida should be a penalty. Dude was running around instead of taking his knee

[@WadeWilsonDP]

I always wonder, how are you supposed to "pull off" when you are flying through the air at full speed? Many of these QBs sliding wait to slide until the guy has already launched.

[@TheCrazyMoparDude68]

Exactly, QBs get special treatment in college and pro football. The slide rule should be taken away and QBs treated like the other players on the field.

[@Alsebra]

9 times out of 10, though, the quarterback isn't going to want to absorb a hit like that, so they're often going to slide...and most of the time, there are indicators of such a maneuver (tighter tuck, looking towards the ground, a turn to reduce speed, etc.). Have there been QBs that were built to take hits? Definitely...but many of them want to keep themselves healthy and uninjured to protect their position, so a lot of them are quite hesitant to collide with a defender at speed (two players running at each other creates more force than a single player hitting an unmoving target (as usually happens in a sack situation)).

Football commentators seem to miss head contact repeatedly. They seem to forget that even if there's contact somewhere dlse first when the same velocity follows through and hits the head area it's still a concusive shot.

[@TheCrazyMoparDude68]

Yes, but it isn’t an illegal play. If to big guys are running towards each other and make contact shoulder to shoulder first, there is a good chance that they could also have head to head contact after the initial contact. What are defenders supposed to do, just let the runner go and not tackle them? Playing football is a dangerous sport and if you are willing to take the risk, then don’t play.

Dunno if that's part of it, but he does have a bit of a reputation for flopping, if I recall the stories.
