That dude should be gone. Intent doesn't matter. He launched and hit him in the head. Could have broken his neck.

The neck snapped. Head to head. I don't necessarily like the rule but that is squarely within what is prohibited under the rule.
What's Santino Panico up to these days? He couldn't be any worse at coaching special teams than our current ST coach.
Martinez is shook. Should have pulled it and ran.
ha, ask and you shall receive

play calling seems a bit atrocious.....this is not a great defense and the play calling is making them look fabulous!
What the heck did you watch? That was an obvious call if ever there was one. The replay guys took about 3 seconds to confirm it and toss the guy.
He put his head down, you have to see what you hit. I have no problem with trying to take head/neck injuries out of the game. Knowing 3 local 10-11 year olds who ended up in the ER making similar plays I am all for it.
This is where I want to see Martinez start to meet the challenges in front of him.. blowing it on the last series with a turnover, and not stepping up and making things happen this last series. It was like he was playing scared on that QB run. That needs to stop.
I said it's a sad rule not a sad call. Call was called correctly as it pertains to the rule. The rule itself is a joke.
The thing I hate about the targeting rule is how over-the-top the penalty is compared to other personal fouls. Some POS can dive at the back of a guy's knees who's not even involved in the play, and he might get 15 yards. But a DB gets ejected for that? The rule is what it is, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
