I kinda hope they revisit this targeting rule at some point. 

Because if the official is wrong -- and even with review, they are -- that's a double whammy. You lose 15 yards and a player. 

I'd guess 85% of these calls are just the case of a player being in the wrong place at the wrong time -- so to speak. They're not intentionally going helmet-to-helmet or blatantly trying to injure someone.

I think what pisses me off the most about the targeting rule is the automatic ejection, and subsequent game penalty.  If there is that much subjectivity to the rule, the player should never be ejected.

I think something like the basketball flagrant system could work. There are some REALLY obvious targeting penalties that have intent behind them. Do that? See ya. But CJ West going after a ball and Garber’s head gets in the way? No CHANCE he should miss a snap of this game let alone the next one.
