Gallman Hit


Oct 16, 2016, 8:46 AM

Was the Hit on Gallman legal because he was a running back. The shot he took was definitely initiated by opponents
Helmet to Gallmans head!

No targeting and that shouldn't be. When the offensive

player's head is moving and he has much to do with the contact as the defensive player, it's not targeting. They don't ever call it when it happens like that.

Understood, but based on that every defensive back should lead with their helmet to every running backs helmet in order to take them out of the game....right?

Where Gallman was hit does not matter for targeting. The defender lead AND initiated contact with the crown of his helmet. The hit could have been to the head, chest, balls, etc... it doesn't matter. The defender has to keep his head up. The rule is written that way to protect the offensive and defensive player. It should have been called.

It would seem the rules would be unfair if a defender is reaponsibl for an offensive player lowering his head.

A ball carrier's head is pretty much always moving, so I think that had little to do with it. The DB used his helmet to tackle Gallman, making no apparent attempt to extend his arms or engage his shoulders. That's what makes this hit targeting IMO

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: No targeting and that shouldn't be. When the offensive


Oct 16, 2016, 10:52 AM

I thought that the helmet tackle was the most reliable and taught technique? Look, I'm not crying for the call, penalties that SHOULD be called get missed all the time, like in the 4th quarter Wilkins getting stretch mugged and bear hugged. Like sometimes our DB'S getting overly physical with WR's. It happens. But let's not say that wasn't targeting. I don't think it was intentional for ahead to head hit. I think the guy wanted to do just what he did, to knock the ball loose. Unfortunately WG's head also got in the way.

military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: No targeting and that shouldn't be. When the offensive


Oct 24, 2016, 9:36 PM

You'd have a point if this same defender didn't spear 2 more of our players the same way during the game. That's why when he got injured vs Louisville and their RB Dayes go injured by the same type of hit I couldn't help but think "Karma is a *****!

if he goes in with his head up I say good hit. He put his head down and led with the crown. This is the definition of targeting.

Re: you beat me to it and said it better, +1***


Oct 16, 2016, 9:38 AM

It's not a matter of it being a clean or dirty play! The rule says if you make contact in the head or neck area while leading with the crown of the helmet it is considered targeting. The pentalty is 15 yards and disqualification of the player. This rule is to protect against concussions. I agree that we cannot limit hard contact and would not want to but to limit the occurrences of concussions is necessary.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Gallman did lowere his head so I don't the was


Oct 16, 2016, 8:53 AM

Intentional. But that doesn't mater. If the defender doesn't lead with the crown of his head this doesn't happen. This is exactly why targeting was created to stop concussions and neck injuries. Odd that you don't call the one that actually caused what it was created to prevent but you call others that wouldn't have caused injury.

Google gallman hit, just about every media outlet calls it's a missed targeting call and how important it is to catch those dirty hits. Not only for the safety of the players, but how the outcome of a game can be altered when people tackle that way to hurt someone and then get away with it. Sends a message take out key players so you can win.
But yes targeting is rare on a running back, maybe because of the defenseless part or because the refs are #######...

Re: Gallman Hit


Oct 17, 2016, 12:09 PM

A player does not need to be deemed "defenseless", in order for targeting to be called. The refs and replay officials totally missed this call. The DB lead with the crown of his helmet and made contact against the head of the running back. A lot of people will say that Gallman lowered his head and the DB was just trying to go low. None of that is stated in Rule 9-1-3. The DB initiated contact against the opponent with the crown of his helmet. The Key Indicators also uphold there should have been a call. Lowered head before attacking, initiating with crown with contact to head. Clemson should have retained the ball, 15 yard penalty and ejection. Period!

RULES

Targeting and Initiating Contact With the Crown of the Helmet (Rule 9-1-3)

No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.

KEY INDICATORS
Leading with helmet, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with contact at the head or neck area
Lowering the head before attacking by initiating contact with the crown of the helmet


military_donation.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sorry..Clean hit.


Oct 16, 2016, 8:55 AM

Gallman bent forward as the player was coming in. He was aiming for the football which he hit. Lakip did the same thing in the Notre Dame game when he led with his helmet and put it on the ball.


This is still a contact sport.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Here's the official Rule..sort it out if you would like


Oct 16, 2016, 9:10 AM

RULES

Targeting and Initiating Contact With the Crown of the Helmet (Rule 9-1-3)

No player shall target and initiate contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. When in question, it is a foul.

Targeting and Initiating Contact to Head or Neck Area of a Defenseless Player (Rule 9-1-4)

No player shall target and initiate contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent with the helmet, forearm, fist, elbow or shoulder. When in question, it is a foul. (Rule 2-27-14)

Note: Beginning in 2013, ejection from the game is a part of the penalty for violation of both Rule 9-1-3 and Rule 9-1-4.


KEY ELEMENTS

Target—to take aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with an apparent intent that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball.

Crown of the Helmet—the top portion of the helmet.

Contact to the head or neck area—not only with the helmet, but also with the forearm, fist, elbow, or shoulder—these can all lead to a foul.

Defenseless player—a player not in position to defend himself.

Examples (Rule 2-27-14):

A player in the act of or just after throwing a pass.
A receiver attempting to catch a pass, or one who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a ball carrier.
A kicker in the act of or just after kicking a ball, or during the kick or the return.
A kick returner attempting to catch or recover a kick.
A player on the ground.
A player obviously out of the play.
A player who receives a blind-side block.
A ball carrier already in the grasp of an opponent and whose forward progress has been stopped.
A quarterback any time after a change of possession.


KEY INDICATORS

Risk of a foul is high with one or more of these:

Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make contact in the head or neck area
A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with contact at the head or neck area—even though one or both feet are still on the ground
Leading with helmet, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with contact at the head or neck area
Lowering the head before attacking by initiating contact with the crown of the helmet


These indicate less risk of a foul:

Heads-up tackle in which the crown of the helmet does not strike above the shoulders
Wrap-up tackle
Head is to the side rather than being used to initiate contact
Incidental helmet contact that is not part of targeting but is due to the players changing position during the course of play


HINTS FOR PLAYERS

Don’t lead with your head
Lower your target--don’t go for the head or neck area with anything
Tackle: Heads-up and wrap-up

Re: Here's the official Rule..sort it out if you would like


Oct 16, 2016, 9:16 AM

When you read that in entirety it looks like a good no call because the defender did not launch forward and upward.

He launched downward and the helmet to helmet only occurred because the offensive player changed positions.

Target—to take aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with an apparent intent that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball.

Intention doesn't define targeting

http://www.cornnation.com/2016/9/5/12792446/college-football-targeting-rule-definition

ARTICLE 4. No player shall target and make forcible contact to the head or neck area of a defenseless opponent (See Note 2 below) with the helmet, forearm, hand, fist, elbow or shoulder. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul (Rules 2-27-14 and 9-6). (A.R. 9-1-4-I-VI)

Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:

Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area

A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground

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

Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet <- the indicator applicable

"Second, intent. The call has nothing to do with intent. It isn’t about taking a cheap shot or trying to purposefully injure a player. The name “targeting” seems to imply that, but if you’re asking officials on the field to determine whether or not a player was purposefully trying to injure another player you’re asking for the impossible.

If a Clemson player hit a guy like that I would be madder than a wet hen if they called targeting. Boulware almost got caught on a BS call.

By the rules, Adam Lakip targeted the Notre Dame returner last year because he clearly led with the crown of his helmet and launched himself...doesn't matter that it was on his chest and not above the shoulders..he clearly put the crown of his helmet on the players...


What I don't like is people running to the referees all ofthe timing to solve problems that don't exists....I think our receivers have lost a little because they have become top quick to get the ref to throw the flag rather than catch the ball.

Frankly, I love a clean, hard hit...sucks when it our players...

That is true, form tackling is thing of the past


Oct 16, 2016, 11:39 AM

He had no intention of wrapping up Gallman with his hands down. However, if you call that then I'm sorry but football becomes flag only. From video evidence he was going at Gallman midsection to dislodge ball however Gallman lowered to ready himself for the blow and therefore heads collided. Is it Wayne's fault, NO. Is it defender fault, from what I see NO. It's a tough sport, this isn't badminton and sometimes bad things happen by default of accident. The result of play was ugly and happy to know Gallman was back asking to get in the game. Talk about a grinder, love Wayne and will miss his physical prowess as a RB. Strong runner!!

No but he got the job done without helmet contact on a physical play. Form tackling is not applicable to all situations, only when capable. Ben was overrunning the play, QB cut and Ben did what he could to stop him and I'm pretty sure he got it done. It was tough but I guarantee you if that was DW4 who got leveled like that you would be making this argument, right ??

Re: Gallman Hit


Oct 16, 2016, 8:56 AM

no, it was leading with the crown of the helmet, and it caught him right on the jaw. If you are trying to knock a player out of the game, that is a textbook example of how you do it. but one other thing that often goes unmentioned, it that rule is as much intended for the safety of the defensive player as the person taking the hit. Hitting with the top of the helmet can lead to spinal injuries, and of course not looking where you are hitting can cause all kinds of other bad things to happen.

Just ONE of many reasons "spearing", or leading with crown of helmet with head down, is a bad idea and ILLEGAL.

Some people will never get it, until they are at a game where something terrible like that happens, for reason of bad coaching, and bad tackling technique.

Go Tigers!

Oct 16, 2016, 9:32 AM

geez louise.

in that game we had a targeting called against us on a punt where the Taphole return guy

either slips or just drops his head to waist high. our D player lays a shoulder into him

but hits him above the shoulders - again 24" off the ground. Targeting and 15 yards!

what the offensive guy does is almost meaningless -

unless he is the one dropping the crown of his helmet.

Gallman got blasted through the side of the helmet

with the crown and it should have been

a penalty and us keeping the ball.

Oct 16, 2016, 10:36 AM

defenseless,

it pretty much doesn't matter how HARD you hit them,

it's purely WHERE you hit them - i.e.above the shoulders.

The targeting rule was intended to get rid of

hitting at any time with the crown of the helmet (the old 'spearing'), OR

hitting defenseless players

either above the shoulders or hitting them by launching.

not that referees understand this obviously.....

Re: Gallman Hit


Oct 16, 2016, 10:31 AM

I don't like it. The defensive player has his arms at his side and uses his helmet as a weapon. I would have been fine with it were it called and overturned, but I don't like the no-call. Gallman was knocked out. That only happens with helmet-to-helmet contact. Get well soon, Wayne. We missed you.

Lets objectively look at this, it's not an opinion it is fact


Oct 16, 2016, 11:03 AM

1. Wayne Gallman lowered his head level knowing contact was coming.
2. Defender did NOT launch
3. Defender made play on the ball to jar it loose, watch as he comes into picture he is CLEARLY attempting to dislodge ball from ball carrier.

I see nothing wrong with hit. Very physical play and I cannot agree with anyone saying it was "targeting". Not defenseless, Wayne lowered head "forcing" helmet contact and it was a glancing blow which is typically the worst kind. I love Clemson and hated seeing Wayne get knocked out, viscous hit no doubt. NCSU is extremely physical and actually won the LOS for most part of the game. We snatched win from the jaws of defeat and GREAT teams have typically had some luck along the way and the missed FG was unreal. Almost like a haze as my memory is not aware of anything for like the last 30 minutes of the game but I know we WON ????????

What you are pointing out DOESN'T matter based on Rule 9-1-3!

1. Gallman lowered his head - Show me where in the Rule it states that lowering the head nullifies the penalty.

2. DB didn't launch - That is a possible indicator not the Rule. Targeting can be called without this indicator.

3. Defender made play on ball... - Yes he did but DB made contact FIRST with the crown of his helmet to the opponents head.

Base on Rule 9-1-3 this is clear targeting no matter how you try and whitewash it!

They don't protect running backs like they do wide receivers and quarterbacks, sad but true. He wasn't considered "defenseless" so it's called a "good football play".

Rest up Wayne. We need you more than ever.

Rule 9-1-3 doesn't require player to be defenseless!

NCAA Rule 9, Section 1, Article 3


Oct 16, 2016, 11:25 AM

No player shall target and make forcible contact against an opponent with the crown (top) of his helmet. This foul requires that there be at least one indicator of targeting (See Note 1 below). When in question, it is a foul.

Note 1: “Targeting” means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle or a legal block or playing the ball. Some indicators of targeting include but are not limited to:
• Launch—a player leaving his feet to attack an opponent by an upward and forward thrust of the body to make forcible contact in the head or neck area
• A crouch followed by an upward and forward thrust to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area, even though one or both feet are still on the ground
• Leading with helmet, shoulder, forearm, fist, hand or elbow to attack with forcible contact at the head or neck area
Lowering the head before attacking by initiating forcible contact with the crown of the helmet

Did the defender make forcible contact with the top of his own helmet? Yes. Still pictures easily show this.
Was there at least one listed indicator of targeting? Yes. The defender lowered his head before initiating forcible contact with the crown of his helmet, easily seen in the still pictures of the defender leaning forward head-first.

By definition, it should have been called. There is nothing in the rule that mentions the behavior of the offensive player, so Gallman's actions are completely irrelevant.

In that case it should be called on every single RB


Oct 16, 2016, 11:43 AM

and WR as they are preparing for contact as they ALWAYS lower their heads!! Dumb writing of a rule that needs amendment for sure. Defense is being numbed out, don't hit this, don't hit that. Football is rough, make it fair for both the O and D if crown of helmet leading is deemed illegal then it should be that way in both sides of the ball. Agreed ??

Re: In that case it should be called on every single RB


Oct 16, 2016, 11:47 AM

I definitely agree that no player should be allowed to lead head-first into their opponent. If the point of the rule is player safety, than whether you are on offense or defense is a moot point. Pretty sure the human body could care less.

In this case, even if Gallman lowered his head, his head is still well above where his waist is, so why is the opponent even aiming that high? If you want to strip the ball, use your hands, not your head.

You're ignoring the “Targeting means that a player takes aim at an opponent for purposes of attacking with forcible contact that goes beyond making a legal tackle" part.

It was a legal hit had gallman not ducked his head.

Oct 16, 2016, 11:50 AM

safeties yesterday. That lowering of the head technique initiates the crown of the helmet contact.

Wayne took a crown of the helmet to the ear hole/chin area and got knocked senseless. That poor technique is not good for the giver or the receiver of the hit.

and launch yourself at the other player. The new targeting rule is BS and unnecessary if the old rules would just be enforced. This hit was clearly illegal and should have been called a personal foul.

The point of this question is moot. Gallman was rendered unconscious by helmet to helmet contact. Defender made no attempt to extend his arms. The crown of the defender's helmet struck him in the left jaw area and snapped his head around. His arms went limp and extended due to the centrifugal force of his body as it rotated ~270 degrees on the longitudinal axis. The ball came out. The referees simply missed the call, a textbook example of targeting. Video of this play should be shown in referee school.

Dabo will ask for an investigation? I cannot believe this has not been addressed by the media to him in one of his interviews. Maybe, Dabo does this behind the scenes, however I would like him to address the intentional targeting LOUD AND CLEAR. He was coach when Kyle Parker and our season was ruined by an obvious spearing, and ACC officals were in charge of that Auburn game. COME ON DABO, what if, like Parker, Gallman is never the same again. PROTECT YOUR PLAYERS SIR!

Very sad event when a coach openly admits it was a lethal hit and the officials of the ACC make no public comment on their inadequacies. The hit as well as the coaches comments should be a nice motivational piece next time we play N.C.STATE...not to hit them illegally, but to beat the ever-loving heck out of them next time.
