I like that he kept his head up and actually went to wrap up on the tackle as opposed to just throwing his shoulder in for the big hit.

thats what you are suppose to do, for your own safety. Tackle with your head up so you can see what you are hitting. Less chance of getting severely injured or getting a penalty.

I understand that, but a lot of players in today's game when presented with that kind of opportunity for a monster hit will just throw their shoulder into a guys chest. They are looking to make it on "jacked up" rather than make a sure tackle. It's a thing of beauty to see such a powerful hit that also incorporates a perfect form tackle.
