The key difference between the Cox hit and the one Saturday was the part of the helmet that initiates contact. Cox was square on the top/crown of the helmet. The one Saturday was more facemask with some of the forehead area. That version of targeting is much more to protect the hitter than the hittee.
As a side note the white hat in the Cox hat is a good friend of mine now working in the MAC.
As for Gully's comment about this being consistent with others he's seen called. I disagree but not in a good way. There has been a lot of inconstancy in what has been called on the field and replay. There is a huge desire to get it right but sorry an aversion to not eject someone on a marginal call. That's why "stands" went away as an option when it comes to targeting.
Changing the rule to have two different levels of targeting only adds another judgment call that will lead to more controversy.
