Objective view of the replay: Traore launched, led with the helment and smashed helmet to helmet.

As a former DB, I don't like targeting because the laws of physics often make it inevitable. However, players are now coached up to lead with the shoulder rather than the head to tackle and aim for the mid-section. That is especially emphasized with the QB. That targeting was an unforced error on Traore's part. He lost situational awareness for doing what he was taught.

He will learn from his mistake.
