I think these rules are attempting to make players stop using there heads, helmets and bodies as missiles and start tackling properly and I am ok with that.

Right and if we're talking about a free safety launching himself at a receiver who isn't even looking I can see that. But the chain reaction of sliding -> defender already left feet but attempts to miss -> gray area results in targeting is going to be an issue.
