Re: Proposed Rule Changes
Suspending a player for a game after their second targeting call in a season is BS.

Why wasn't this posted in the "Snowflake Football Rules" thread? It certainly fits. :facepalm:

Agree. Things happen so fast I still think most targeting fouls are not intentional.

I would argue the opposite. There are more hits that have the indicators but aren't fouls (and aren't called) than those incorrectly called. Ultimately what they are trying to do on tackles is to get them to wrap up rather than hit. If you approach the runner with your head or shoulder to hit them rather than just tackle them you are more likely to commit targeting. That behavior doesn't seem to have changed.
The blind side block rule will likely eliminate targeting on blocks because that's when most targeting fouls occur on blocks.
Targeting isn't that common anyway. How many do the Bison have in a season? Maybe 2 or 3 at most? I don't get to watch enough games to know.

Need a targeting 1 and 2 rule like technicals in basketball. If contact is due solely to bad form by defender then suspensions. If motion outside of defenders control creates contact then just yardage. My two cents.

If a runner lowers his head at the last second and that causes contact I don't think there should even be a penalty.

It's only a foul if the defender hits him with the crown of his helmet. If the defender initiates with the crown it doesn't matter if he hits the runner in the helmet or the chest or the leg.

It is a bit much and a lot of the penalties are unavoidable to begin with.
Please dont go with the OT proposal.
