The issue is that they are trying to steer football away from the "classic" tackle.

The hit in the video is nearly impossible to rule on live. Having said that, in the POE material for this year they state:

"And contrary to most other rule enforcements, when in doubt, contact to and with the helmet should be ruled as a foul by game officials."
