What happened to tackling with your head up and making contact with breast plate?

Tackling used to be taught to keep your head up and make contact with your face mask and breast plate. When did it change to looking down, leading with your head like a missile?

The refs call ridiculous penalties so a young player is more worried about not getting a flag then making a play.

If he made contact with his chest and wrapped up, how would he have been penalized?

He was going for the style points highlight hit to end the game and instead hurt his team.

The only logical thing I can accept is that he was trying like hell to tackle him in bounds. He went for a big hit on his outside shoulder to keep him in bounds. Maybe. Idk.

The clock doesn't stop in the NFL like college football if you tackle a player out of bounds.
