I don't think they are targeting him as much as thy are targeting players like him. The dude can't tackle. He has some of the worst fundamentals out there. He almost always leaves his feet, which they are calling almost every time now. He also never ever ever wraps up. When he leaves his feet he usually crosses his arm and leads with his forearms. It's basically the same as leading with your helmet.
If he would stay on the ground, drive through the tackle and wrap up he won't get fined. He keeps leaving his feet he will continue to get flagged, fined and suspended.
