College football fans don't love the targeting rule. While the letter of law makes sense and it is definitely a good idea to promote player safety, the interpretation and implementation of the targeting penalty has been a grand source of outrage and bewilderment across the country since the moment the rules arrived. Thanks to a new rule passing, NFL fans may be added to the list of frustrated viewers.
Executive Vice President of Football Operations Troy Vincent previously noted the new rules will come with a preemptive warning and with examples of what to avoid.
The idea that the NFL is adding yet another rule that is difficult to interpret seems like a potential problem for a league that is already battling the "what is a catch?" landscape on a weekly basis. The last thing they needed was more potential controversy.
