So how do you tackle a guy when you're behind now? You can't yank them, can't slam them back, can't grab them and drop...I don't quite understand the logic behind all this.

A hip drop tackle is a tackling technique where a tackler wraps up a player from behind or the side and leaves their feet while dropping their hips to the ground. The result is that a tackler hauls down a runner with all their body weight, pulling them to the ground.
What often happens at the end of hip drop tackles is that the tackler comes crashing down with all their body weight on the back of a runner’s legs, pinning them to the ground while the runner is still moving forward.
Tackling specifically like that is easily preventable.
Horse collar tackles made sense to reduce / eliminate using logic.
