I have to agree with the game commentators regarding targeting

It should simply be a 15 yard penalty. No disqualifications.

Indy Coug

How about 15 yards and 1 point is awarded to the opposing team?

Not on the first offense but I’d be cool if it was on the 2nd and never carry a

First targeting infraction should be a quarter ‘in the penalty box’. Subsequent

Many are still lowering and launching with the crown. They gotta be smarter.

Some are unintentional but others are clearly not.

I simply don't believe that any are intentional, really. We slow mo them and say

Agree. Another one to eliminate: Horsecollar rule. No one gets hurt by that

I wouldn't say "no one." If it was a less severe penalty, Utah would absolutely

Hard disagree, the rule has had a profound effect on hits

It’s dangerous and reckless. For both players. Former players have killed

But we've had this rule for a while and it still happens. Why is that? It's

DQ is a bit much, yet does seem like more than a simple personal foul infraction

Targeting is potentially serious. I’d vote out for 15 minutes the first

I think it needs to be a little different than a common unnecessary roughness

SUAVO

There should be two levels of targeting

DrewGundy

There should definitely be levels of severity. Like if the offensive player

Is us worth 20 yards to a team to take out a player on the other team?

travelcoug

Completely agree. They can always eject someone if they feel it was malicious

I hate trying to judge intent. Makes it way too subjective

cougaman

The point of having it be a disqualification is to prevent players from doing it

I think anyone thinking that players intentionally do this just don't understand

In high school there is no automatic ejection for targeting, and I can tell you

From the stadium view it didn’t look that bad

RockyBalboa

In the replay his head snapped hard left, so definitely there should be a stiff penalty to targeting like that

Knight-who-says-ni

The one yesterday was totally avoidable. Don’t blame the rule and excuse the one

cougaman

How about base ejection on severity. That one was a basic

Do something like soccer yellows. Warning but a second means your out for the

It's dangerous for both players. It's tough to see ejections, but prob prudent.

rtNelson

Even a second infraction shouldn't be a full game suspension, maybe a quarter or even a series..

Just needs two types like basketball and problem solved.

Is ejection what is keeping it from happening, though? You think Manu simply

The penalty for forgetting needs to be severe.

Players get knocked out because of plays like that…

Make it 25 yards, with no 1/2 the distance to the goal crap, and I’m on board

AlternateShot

11:18am

So if it the ball is inside the 25 yard line the penalty phase is a TD is awarded?

Knight-who-says-ni

11:33am

Yes. That’s my preference. But if not that, then the 2 yard line.
