I would have really liked to have heard him say they sent an appeal for Overshown's bull**** targeting foul ?
I think most people don't understand that the rule has changed,  and almost nobody knows how the new rule will be interpreted. I would guess the officials were given some guidelines.  This wouldn't have been targeting last season.

Here is the new rule:

The relevant part may be:

  • Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area

I don't know how they expect him to tackle.  He didn't crouch first, or lower his head. All he did is essentially ran into him to tackle him and since they were both upright there heads hit.

If the suspension isn't overturned hopefully there will be some clarification on exactly how the QB can be tackled in this situation. 

 
That is a hell of a drive from Austin.  Didn't they have practice, film session on Sunday?   I guess he was given permission to miss since he has a newborn.
