According to the rule it is targeting...Jones launched and hit a defenseless player. Bad rule but nonetheless.
This. No wonder there are high scoring games. Defense has to play with an arm behind their back. WR needs to recognize zone coverage and not run THROUGH the middle. Otherwise you get LIT up... But get a 1st down and disqualified LB. Lost two LBs for next week
Might as well put flags on. Was he supposed to pull off and wait to see if the guy caught the ball? Didn't lead with his helmet, didn't launch, didn't hit above the shoulders, wasn't late. Total bullshit call.
I'd say he stood his ground. Watch it again. Didn't launch. WR ran into HIM
We were up by 3 scores. Any good coach will gladly trade 7 points for 5 minutes in that situation.
The games you cited aren't at all similar.
Contact has to be above the shoulders too
Iowa was like 4/4 or 5/5........
Mason was ready for that game to be over an hour and a half ago.
Nah, it was a bad call. They just couldn't overturn it because they're coached not to.
I hope they can mail that tape in and get Jones on the field in the 1st half next week. Mail the tape to Indiana too. WR will think twice about coming over the middle.
Yep, ridiculous. That was a clean hit. Garbage ass call.
Except he didn't initiate contact with his helmet. Explain how you can run forward with your head trailing your body.
They could call a late hit or unnecessary roughness, but that hit does not fit the definition of targeting.
They just couldn't change the call to fit the play. Goofy ref guidelines....
NFL is trying to figure that out right now. And how to tackle QBs without getting their jersey dirty. I SEE a grass stain! PENALTY on the D!!!
Can’t even call it a late hit. The ball hit the WRs hands a split second before jones hits him. Almost bang bang.
I don’t think it was targeting by the book for reasons stated above, but Amani shouldn’t have made it that close. Just wrap up and don’t even give the appearance of targeting.
That penalty leaves us with a 3rd-string MLB for the first half against IU, who can really score. Our chances next week just took a hit as a result of that call.
Jones should know better than to even make it close. His football IQ leaves a lot to be desired.

But he didn’t launch. And didn’t hit him above the shoulders nor with his head.
Not last year. It was Jewell on the kickoff of the first game of 2016.
In putting your head down makes a tackle malicious then 90% of collisions today were malicious
That was an ignorant comment by Doobi. Jones’ head doesn’t make contact with the WR, so what difference does it make if it were up, down, or upside down?
