Targeting. Contact to the head of a defenseless player.

I got nothing, He is tackling. He wrapped up. He didn't drive thru the player like one would if they were headhunting. I think its just a case of incidental helmet contact while making a tackle.

[Kalle]

The problem I have here is that the initial contact is with the helmet to the helmet. If the initial contact would be on the body, I would have nothing.

I do not have anything. Agree the helmets hit but taht si incidental to the attempt to tackle and wrap up by the B player.
I do not have him, crouching, launching, leading, ot trying to intiatite contact with his helmet.

[dvasques]

either targeting or nothing
no way I call UNR on this one unless I'm calling it targeting

and I guess I'd call targeting because of the lack of effort to lower the contact zone and the tackler lowers his head a bit

Mike, thanks for letting us see the band dancing before the slowmotion replay

It was late and I was tired of editing stuff.  Between this game and the Baylor game I had my bad full snagging clips.  :-).

At field level in real time, it probably looked bad.


On film, I got nothin'

agree 100%. I've got no intent by the defender to target high. the ball carrier turned and boom--they were face to face. nothing.

[fencewire]

Nada...

No intent, kind of at a size disadvantage, no foul. Wave it off, guys.
