I am ok with this rule as long as they don't go overboard with it. Yes, football is a violent brutal sport and we love to see the nasty hits.
At one point, you have to think about the player and the media uproar there will be as severe injuries happen more often. Entertaining hits can be made without knocking someone's helmet off or causing concussions. The players that intentionally blow up other when they are not able to defend themselves or those who lead with their head are the ones the NFL is trying to stop.
As much as I support this rule, I also know that the referees will go nuts with it, and, at first, players will get suspended left and right.
