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

I'd say that the vast majority nowdays are accidents which means they could safely get rid of the automatic suspensions. Seems excessive to punish a player that much who is just trying to make a legit football play.

The problem is that it was reviewed and they still came up with no targeting. It was textbook targeting. If you are going to have the rule, enforce it. If not, do away with the rule.
