He would have jacked up the other player later, when he thought no one was looking.

Maybe not a tackle, but here's a similar situation. (Skip to 4:40.)
The defender that Sean blocks is behind the play. Taylor blasts him. Fair enough, if the runner cuts back the defender could get him.... these are football players.... play to the whistle.... keep your head on swivel.... etc.
Look back at the Browner hit. Browner is almost even but some distance from the runner. If the runner cuts back, Browner could get him, and possibly get blocked by Long. So Browner decided to take out Long. Hey, if you can't get to the play, make sure an opponent can't either... these are football players... play to the whistle... etc.
Browner made a clean hit high, no headshot, nor to the knees. I don't see a problem with either Browner's or Taylor's hit.
