Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

My take on the targeting rule:

 

[jp1]

And listening to Herbsreit is painful. Ugh!

Now we get to hear from him how gutsy Fields is for the next 2 hours.

 

[Smokey123]

Never forget Smart chose Fromm over Fields

 

[VolMike16]

Give em 15 yards then but stop kicking players out of games for hits like that. It’s dumb af.

Nearly every tackle to the lower half is with the crown of the helmet. Are they going to start calling that too? The rule is flawed and has been from the start.

 

[Catbone]

So ohio state hangs on to win then Bama plays them without fields who has a broken rib and demolishes them. Seems about right

 

[jordan4vols]

Is Plowman upset and wanting Pruitt gone?

LWS-

Could be. I think ultimately she follows Fulmers lead.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Herbtreet should not be allowed to call this game. He's way too biased.

 

[Smokey123]

My take on the targeting rule:

I agree 100%. But that’s def targeting with how the rule is written

 

[nashvol1]

It’s a bang-bang play with two large men colliding.

 

[RiotVol]

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you don't allow a defensive player to put his head down then do the same for the offensive players. Be consistent, if it's dangerous for the defense it's dangerous for the offense take it out of the game for everyone or no one. JMO.

If targeting results in ejections, so should chop blocks and face mask penalties.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Im fine with ejections on targeting when it’s warranted like egregious helmet to helmet, etc, but there needs to be two tiers to the targeting call. Similar to how NBA has flagrant 1 and 2.

 

[tn88volfan]

Fields needs to be at a hospital getting xrays not playing

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Based on the rule. The refs made the correct call. The rule is dumb but it is what it is right now

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Not really
that’s the kind of hit that gets the defender hurt badly

They’re playing a contact sport....

 

[BruinVol]

Her street should not be allowed to call this game. He's way too biased.

His son plays at Clemson

 

[Devo182]

YESSSS F DABO!!

 

[Alwaysopen711]

Skalski’s lucky he didn’t get seriously injured. Gotta see what you’re tackling. Eyes up, that’s foundational stuff.

 

[scvolfan7]

Terrible call but Clemson beat OSU last year because of an even worse call so F em

 

[Jackcrevol]

Based on the rule. The refs made the correct call. The rule is dumb but it is what it is right now

its a smart rule in that instance. could have wrapped up.

 

[SLICKYINC]

They kicked the only dude with a neck roll out of the game. That’s biased af.

 

[Orange Studs]

Where is Dick Butkus when you need him. He will show them some targeting. lol

 

[nashvol1]

I agree 100%. But that’s def targeting with how the rule is written

Head on, it’s not...any player besides a QB and there is not even a question to review.

 

[Smokey123]

Im fine with ejections on targeting when it’s warranted like egregious helmet to helmet, etc, but there needs to be two tiers to the targeting call. Similar to how NBA has flagrant 1 and 2.

This 100%

Similar to JRM ejection vs App State. Bang bang play, JRm was bent down already, JRM went as low as he could and used his shoulder instead of head. Penalty sure ejection no

 

[InVOLuntary]

His son plays at Clemson

I don't care. His love for ohio state is obvious. He was giddy that was called for targeting.

 

[BruinVol]

They kicked the only dude with a neck roll out of the game. That’s biased af.

Im ready to play the race card!
