To me it's just pure conjecture on their part. The league can't KNOW a defender's intentions at that moment of impact. Was he trying to hit him hard enough to jar the ball loose or was his intent something worse?
I also agree with what rmpackers posted about the league needs to use common sense when trying to enforce this rule. I really am curious to see how this affects the way defenders approach the game.  |
Exactly. Rules should be objective, not subjective. The NFL is teetering very close to subjective territory with the wording of these "rules" and that's never good for any sport.

Silver lining? I think so
