The days of big hitters is gone.  The targeting rule makes it too risky to play like that.  If you are getting ready to lower the boom and the ball carrier simply drops his head to meet yours, then you are gone from the game and half the next game if it happens in the second half.  Not worth it.

You’ve watched too many Stanford games. Watch the SEC. You’ll see plenty of big hits.

Yes, and I've seen plenty of targeting ejections.
