Targeting Call - Screwing up the game

[El Paso Eagle]

Seen several targeting calls today on different games that are absolutely ridiculous. This is something they need to figure out a way to standardize

 

Will also ask a question no one ever seems to answer. Why can a running back lower his head and lead with the crown of his helmet and not be called for targeting?

Bc the offensive player is acting in a way to protect himself, whereas the defender is coming in to be the aggressor.

 When a running back is heading down field and lowers his head to ram a player not sure how you can say he's protecting himself

The call in the ut and utsa game was ridiculous and I'm still shocked it was called.

Generally, it’s more about a defensive player blindsiding a defensive player and leading with the helmet. 
 

so the difference with a rb leading with the crown of his helmet is that 99% of the time the defensive player is not blind sided and trying to be taken out by the rb.
