Looks like you need to go look up the rule, because it clearly says “defenseless” players, not ones making a football move to try to advance

Read this closely:
"In general, the targeting rule will be the same in 2019 as it was in past years. Targeting can be called any time a player takes aim at an opponent with the purpose of attacking with the crown of his helmet, or any time a player takes aim at a defenseless opponent to the head or neck area by using an "indicator of targeting."
