I hope the refs won't go to the extreme with this new ruling and penalize a player simply because he laid somone's ass out. It is still football.
To me Intent just means "have they done this before and is it a habit?" If yes then it's clear they think it is OK to play recklessly and truly want to hurt someone. Last I checked the game is not about hurting the opposing team's players (even if they are Cowboys).
