don't think there is an "attempted targeting" penalty.
I mean the basic definition of targeting is an attempt in itself.
But the rules also certainly allow a penalty to be applied for intent, especially one where the runner has given himself up feet-first. I have not rewatched the play but it certainly looked like he attempted to drop a forearm as well.
These type of plays are pretty easily distinguished between defender leaping over runner to avoid contact, and the instance that happened on this play where the defender simply missed his target.

Way better explanation than mine.
The guy was fairly still, JD started to slide, he turned and launched at him.

This is false. In fact, it’s the exact reason that many people don’t like the targeting rule. Most people think that there should be a targeting 1 (without intent) that does not result in an ejection and a targeting 2 (with intent) that results in an ejection. You can’t call a guy for targeting because he tried to spear a RB going down the sideline but whiffed and flew into the benches.
