And that is pretty much impossible to do at the professional level. The rule asks "was the contact done in an attempt to tackle or an attempt to injure?" And you just can't ask someone to determine that.

It asks too much of the referees.

They were discussing this on the Sirius NFL channel earlier. It's hard to determine intent vs. something happening unintended.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
