In college football, targeting an opponent's head is an automatic ejection. The NFL may be moving in that direction link |

How does a ref determine intent? I'm afraid this will just result in refs having more power to manipulate the outcomes of games. I see many stops on 3rd and longs against GB being wiped out with "targeting" calls.
Isnt spearing already illegal? Why do we need more rules?

I think it will just cause more unintended(or who knows) outcomes of games. If Smith gets ejected the Vikings defense completely changes.

That's pretty much what I was going to say. |
