[QUOTE="Deleted member 29907, post: 1479009"] It's nearly impossible to do and probably more dangerous for the defender to try to keep his head up on a diving tackle. He was going for the letters with his arms out and the receiver started to lower from the other hit. There is no way this was targeting by any sense. The refs are supposed to take into account how the offensive player's body moves. The announcers were clear homers and called Kerby's play last week as less of a target - which was strange. Neither met the intent of the rule. Regardless of anyone's opinion, I do wish Lovie would defend his players to the refs more. The refs called some crazy calls on us including Barker's 3 sec dance (I am not sure how that dance is any different than someone running around in celebration and chest bumping for the same amount of time).
