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

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

rha1211

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

11:43am

Head initiated contact to the head.

IGlowInTheDark

11:44am

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

Right, during the kick. But isn't the reference that it was done pre-kick or am I misunderstanding?

txblue

11:42am

That can't be done pre-kick because nobody can predict before the ball is kicked whether or not it will be returned.

SingleStrapBackpack

11:50am

That's a signal to your own team, not the kicking team.

11:46am

Maybe that's the primary purpose, but the people running downfield can see it, too, and that is what Bielema is talking
