So basically, instead of following the rule book he's responsible for, he blames it on the QB.
Weak.
He apparently didn't watch the side view where TG's body is at a 45 degree angle going into his slide at the CIN 47, while Geathers has already lowered his head/shoulder, moving in for the kill at the CIN 42.
5 yards apart is "too late to slide?"
