I don't think it matters, you can't go helmet first at the QB in the pocket.
Is the face mask considered part of the helmet? I don't think it is. In those stills, it looks like Tank got him with his face mask. At full speed it looks different, so I can see why the ref threw a flag.
Same with the Reeves play. In real time it may have looked like he timed it right. It looked obvious to me it was a PI, but I am watching it from a couch. I am not the back judge or whomever who is trying to run backwards and see everything at once. It is understandable that they miss a call now and then and yes they did miss that one. It was a good play by Reeves because he got away with it. He should have interfered with Smith instead of letting him right by him untouched into the end zone.
And I am not convinced that Kartr was a much better poster. He turned to the conspiracy theory of why QC was not playing for anyone in the league. I have not seen that yet in defense of Reeves. Then again the same guy that says that Reeves is all world also supports drafting a CB high in the next draft. Why try to replace someone who is that good? A paradox.
