Want to make the game safer while still maintaining its integrity? Require wrapping up or at least attempting to wrap up in tackles. No more "tackling" by launching your body at the ball carrier.
You can still deliver a hard, intimidating hit, but you're less likely to have helmet to helmet shots and bodies aren't flying around with guys landing on their head as often.
Penalize dangerous play, with repeat offenders getting ejected.
Enforce the wrap up rule at all levels of football so that it no longer becomes a problem.
In short, make it a rule to play in a fundamentally sound manner.

Exactly. You either wrap up or can shove a guy out by the sideline.
Ohand make tthem sign a waiver before playing... No need to make this shite into a 60-55 game every week by completely altering the game.

I like the idea of a yellow/red card type system. Launch yourself into a WR's head over the middle? Straight "red", you're done for the day.

Having played rugby and seeing the way this precise rule keeps people wearing no pads safe, I have long said a "you must attempt to wrap up" rule is the best solution.
