[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 975559, member: 1640"] It would be a borderline call today. Legal: didn’t hit with crown of the head, head erect, looking at ball carrier. Borderline: did he hit under the chin area or too high on the collar bone? Did he launch? Unclear part of rule: shoulder tackling is encouraged by the rule but not clear whether failure to use shoulder, even if unintentional, is strictly forbidden. Put another way, is centering the tackle on the ball carrier now considered spearing? Someone please correct me but my gut is that it might depend on the ref making the call. Also, it would be reviewed at end of season by rules committee to see if targeting rule needs further clarification. Adam Gotsis made a similar hit on a QB and was ejected from the game. [/QUOTE]
