Maybe it's because I grew up in the Pacific Northwest, but even 25+ years ago when I was a young guy playing football, we were using what is now identified as the "Seahawks" method, which deliberately protects the head of the tackler. It's what my son is taught now playing ball as well. It still dumbfounds me that others were taught to use their head as a weapon.
