Where did you hear it say he ducked his head in a tackle? In the article posted it said he was trapped on the ground and got tackled. White doesn't strike me as the type of player who would duck his head in a tackle.

Yeah it was on 360 and he ducked. Maybe this will wake players up and stop them from ducking
