Football NFL owners just passed a targeting rule - Page 3

Stinger · 03-27-2018, 02:32 PM

According to Albert Breer

NFL owners just passed a targeting rule. I’m told they have not yet defined it for ejections, and the league will work on that and present it at the May meeting. Plays will potentially be reviewable by New York.

The rule, by the way, is different than the college rule. It will be broader — if you lower your head and initiate contact, it’s 15 yards. And the ejection aspect is being discussed, like I said. https://t.co/aeddq7BQmm

Runners should be exempt in this instance just like the "stiff arm" is not hands to the face.

redfan · 03-27-2018, 07:09 PM

Welp, that should just about do it.
Refs have more personnel control than ever.

Nah there's a reason they put the helmets on.

I would imagine that whatever rule they put together will allow for helmet-to-helmet contact within the tackle box or 3 yards from the tackle box. It's already illegal for a runner or a Defender to lower the crown of their helmet and hit another player 3yards outside of The Tackle Box. This rule was passed in 2011 or so. If I remember correctly it was called the lineup rule.

I used to laugh at BlackOp.

Not so much anymore.

Ridding the league of fake turf and going back to dirt, grass and sand will also slow the momentum and soften the collusions.

And star offensive players leaving games from concussion or a string of injuries isn't? I usually hate subjective rules. But players not staying in the game is a very big problem right now. And I'm game for anything that helps fix it.

I’m willing to give this rule a chance for sure. If it increases safety, it’s a good move in the end.

That only means you’re not paying attention.

So basically, every Squeeler tackle is now illegal? They are ****ed.

Except the ones against the Chiefs.

Nickhead · 03-28-2018, 05:07 AM

so, now they are admitting they will target teams they don't like?

On Golic and Wingo, Sal Paolantonio said the NFL acknowledged that were on average "80 to 90" instances per game in which players lower their helmets to initiate contact.
