If Bush got three personal fouls, he’d be ejected from a game. Max is two for a player in a game. Bush pushes the envelope and gets away with a lot as evidenced by the hit under the chin against the Maryland qb Hill a couple weeks ago. He speers him to the point he knocks him on his back after releasing a pass, helmet comes off, continues to lay on the ground, no call on the field, not even a review when clearly targeting.
I hate how they interpret the rule now and don’t consider the word defenseless anymore. They just call targeting on all hits regardless of the offensive players movement with his helmet. The rule should state if a defensive player leads in an upward manner toward the offensive players helmet area, targeting wil be called. Saw the PSU Indy game yesterday where a PSU player wasn’t attempting to target and tackling low, the Indy running back lowered his helmet causing the helmet to helmet.....targeting on the PSU safety. 1, it wasn’t defenseless and 2, the offensive player lowered his helmet causing the contact. It was a football play. Stop trying to make each hit perfect, it’s football and a contact sport.
