Been listening to the new targeting rule and how they determine when a player is targeting. The main theme to me was the lower you get (further away from the head) the less likely you will get called for targeting. One situation that was not brought up was when a receiver is 5' 7" and a 6' 2" linebacker goes to tackle him. It is kind of hard for a 6' 2" linebacker to get lower than a 5' 7" receiver.
There was a gentlemen who questioned about where the line is between targeting and non-targeting. He showed an example and said that this person would be targeting and to become non-targeting he needed to be 2-3 inches lower.
Also, if you are guily of "targeting" you are disqualified from the game!
Personally, I think this will just make things more complicated.
