Legal tackle or not?

While I agree with this statement, I'm still not sure about this play. I didn't see a player that just happened to land on his head as the result of a tackle. I see a player picked up and DRIVEN head first into the ground. Was it necessary to drive him into the ground?

Like I previously said, I think I let it go if I see it live. However, I'd probably spend some time wondering if it were a good no-call.
