Goodbye Tackle Football?
So now we are going to maybe have players disqualified. It’s not automatic like college, but that’s pretty close.
The reason the targeting rule is tough is because 200 pound-plus men are moving at amazing speeds and making split-second reactions. They simply can’t think of where or what their head is doing. Teaching tackling is part of the process, but this really seems difficult to officiate.
We though deciding what a catch was had some issues. This is nuts. How are officials going to do this consistently? What happens when the star of a game is maybe ejected after the first drive. If the NFL officiates this by the letter of the law teams could have 20 players by the end of the game.
