This is the correct summation of targeting

Yeah, because intent is so easy to decipher. 🙄 It’s why the indicators exist.

So easy to define and quantify unnatural, as well as judge intent.

12:15pm

The issue with targeting is it has been applied very liberally time after time

and anyone who saw that hit would call it targeting, it was crown, helmet to helmet, with force, and against a

I don’t think intent is as important as outcome. Any hit to the head that results in an injury should be targeting.

Defenses have just gotten so much better. Rarely do you see recievers wide open and that was commonplace in the 90s

Crazy Joe Davola

True. Defenses have really adapted, especially going clear back to the Detmer years and beyond.

rcbyufan

I.E. location dependent. Do you get lots of sun and is electricity expensive?

rcbyufan

11:49am

So less of a slam dunk in Utah? My Utah County electrician bill averages $60

Florwood

11:57am

I would have installed solar by now but every sales guy wants to charge 9000% mark up to maximize their commission. So

WDaddy

11:50am

Yep. I do calculations every couple years and it never makes sense financially

kotacoug

12:08pm

Paid $10k after rebates and saving about $120/month on average.

So, you save $1400/yr while $10k could have returned $1k/yr that compounds.

11:41am

Isn't the 6 inch radius crown rule only for defensable players (i.e. ball carriers)?

Crazy Joe Davola

11:42am

It’s for all players, defenseless or defensable. It does require an indicator though.

PJMort

11:46am

I disagree. I feel like the defender just ran through the receiver.

HTCougar

Head initiated contact to the head.

Led with helmet to defenseless player (not crown) head/neck. That's targeting.
