You've never played football.

I'm pretty sure the first thing I was taught as a 7 year old was to stick your nose on the football and to never drop it and have both eyes on the ground. And then that very basic rule was reinforced age 8-12, 7th grade, 8th grade, freshman ball and varsity ball. And that was well before "targeting" was a thing.
If you didn't learn it I question whether you played football.

Nonsense. You don’t have to like the targeting rule to acknowledge by the rules, these are targeting plays.
I probably targeted every game playing safety growing up, but the rules have changed.
That said, if you’re as bad as Ole Miss was on d was last year, I don’t think telling your guys just to make sure they bring the ball carrier down, targeting or not, is a terrible idea.

I can’t even begin to count how many times I was told “See what you hit” by a coach. It’s bad form to make a hit while looking at the ground, not just because it can break your neck, but also it can cause to whiff on the tackle.
