[QUOTE="wreckrod, post: 977006, member: 1935"] On the lack of targeting, I just though that was a good, clean hit. There's been a lot of wonky enforcement of all the rules. As far as I'm concerned, offensive holding isn't a real penalty so much as a random hardship, like rain or extreme temperature or running into a ref on the field. On any given play you have a 15% chance for being called for holding and it has nothing to do with whether anyone actually did it or not. Sometimes it helps you, sometimes it hurts you. It's just a random thing that happens. It'll make you a lot less angry if you think of it this way. The D-lineman didn't leave his feet, didn't hit King in the head with his arm, shoulder, or the crown of his helmet. He just went to wrap up and is tall and his facemask contacted King's facemask/head. Those are not the kind of hits that targeting should be removing from the game, and I had no problem with it. I thought at BEST, it might get called targeting due to the letter of the way the rule is written, but definitely wasn't the kind of hit that the spirit of the rule is written for. [/QUOTE]
