[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 189126, member: 932"] The rule leaves it up to interpretation by the ref, as do pretty much all penalties...but unfortunately they err on the side of caution. Both of those hits are textbook tackles...some guys are just bigger than others. Contact with a helmet or facemask should not be the determining factor, but rather the subjective opinion of the referee as to whether the tackle actually put the player in danger because of contact with the head or neck. No one every calls targeting on a running back when he lowers his head and slams it into the defenders facemask...much more dangerous btw, but that play goes completely unpenalized while stupid crap like the play in the UNC game draws flags and changes games.
