1. The game had a headhunter on defense in Cisco.
2. QBs do have a responsibility to their receivers. Mahomes said so. Tom Brady would agree, but NFL rule changes have also changed that. See quoted story below.
3. MVS was closer to the sideline, yet Cisco still launched himself to try and injure. Headhunting can happen anywhere.
4. Chris Simms has a point but probably he really just wanted people to pay attention to him and listen.
5. Cisco better watch his back because someone will lay him out like JuJu Smith-Schuster slammed Vontaze Burfict.
Quote:
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has played most of his career in the most pass-friendly era the NFL has every experienced. Rule changes have generally protected quarterbacks and have made it easier for passers to exploit defenses.
While you might think Brady is on board with those changes, you would be wrong. Brady revealed the biggest thing that has changed since he entered the NFL, and it's all about defenses being wrongly punished by the league when offenses make mistakes.
Brady believes a fair amount of defensive penalties are actually due to poor offensive decisions. As Brady explains, when he used to play against Ray Lewis, Brady knew he couldn't throw the ball in the middle of the field without risking his wide receiver. Back then, the wide receiver would take a massive hit and probably be out for the rest of the game. Knowing that, Brady had to adjust the game plan to keep his receivers safe
Today, quarterbacks can risk those throws knowing defensive players will get flagged if they smash a wide receiver. Brady considers those dangerous throws to be offensive mistakes, because they put receivers in bad spots. In Brady's eyes, quarterbacks should be responsible for their receivers. The new rules put receiver safety on defenses, which Brady opposes.
