ACC official, Pereira say they'd eject Jadeveon Clowney for 'The Hit'

Sounds like they are saying then that it isn't targeting, which I personally disagree with and I don't think jibes with what is written in the book. But C'est la vie.

I agree he wasn't defenseless and it doesn't matter anyways since he wasn't hit high.

Thanks for sharing.

I think it's another example of how hard it is to codify this rule. They know it when they see it and they know what they want to eliminate but it's hard to codify it so you get it in text. I see this play as more of a collision and yes his head is down if you break it down frame by frame. But watching it in real time you don't see that as easily.

The RB is not defenseless in this situation so you can take that out of it.
