Alot of plays/players have been called for targeting that did not have malicious intent. The rule was put in place to make players think twice before even coming close to another players helmet with there own helmet. Bang, bang play or not, it doesn't matter.
It seems to have made a difference because I haven't seen hardly any targeting calls called this year on DBs angainst WRs. Used to see 1 or 2 a game it seems.

I agree, the rule does make a difference... but that doesn't mean that it doesn't still happen, even if by 'accident'. Heck, there were three plays total in the Bama-LSU game that could be reviewed for targeting.
1. Hit on JD5
2. Hit on Jalen in his earhole when he was running into the endzoe
3. Hit on Jalen on a perimeter run when the DB (Burns, I believe) lowered his head and cracked the crown on his helmet directly into incoming Milroe (dangerous for the DB).
My point being, while the rule dissuades a certain type of tackling... it will never fully prevent.
I at least appreciate the civil discussion about it as opposed to the constant melting
