Thats targeting

---

lol no shot

---

No shot of a bdf ref calling it, yes correct.

---

Didn't lead with crown of helmet. Didn't launch. No chance it's targeting

---

It's ok, you obviously don't understand the rule of defenseless players. It was the definition of a defenseless player.

---

Forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless player. Forcible contact didn't occur at the head or neck area.

---

WRONG!!

"A player is defenseless when they are especially vulnerable to injury because of their position or situation. Common examples include:
A receiver in the act of catching a pass or who has not had time to protect themselves after the catch"

"What makes the hit illegal?

"A hit becomes illegal when a defender:
1. Makes forcible contact
Significant force (not just incidental contact)

AND
2. Targets a defenseless player by:
Contacting the head or neck area, OR
Leading with the crown (top) of the helmet, OR
Launching upward into the player

You do not need helmet-to-helmet contact for it to be targeting."


LAUNCHING UPWARD INTO A DEFENSELESS RECEIVER

---

I don't see it how you are printing it. Where did you get that text from?

This is from the rulebook.

Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:

"Launch: A player leaving their feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area."


"ARTICLE 4. Targeting and Making Forcible Contact to the Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Opponent

No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder."

---

Let's start with the definition of a defenseless player.

Defenseless Player
ARTICLE 14. A defenseless player is one who because of their physical position and focus of concentration is especially vulnerable to injury. When in question, a player is defenseless. Examples of defenseless players include but are
not limited to:
a. A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass. This includes an offensive player in a passing posture with focus downfield.
b. A receiver attempting to catch a forward pass or in position to receive a backward pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
c. A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
d. A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick, or one who has completed a catch or recovery and has not had time to protect themselves or has not clearly become a ball carrier
e. A player on the ground.
f. A player obviously out of the play.
g. A player who receives a blind-side block.
h. A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
i. A quarterback any time after a change of possession.
j. A ball carrier who has obviously given themselves up and is sliding feet-first.
k. A player attempting to recover a loose ball.

14:b CLEARLY the situation here.
