Brady brought up a good point yesterday essentially saying the onus on protecting the QB should be on the QB, not the defender. If you don't want to get hit by someone who is known to play the game hard, slide earlier. When you watch it full speed, it is bang-bang. I agree Shaair's actions after the play were uncalled for and likely triggered the longer suspension.
As far as I'm concerned the NFL can poop in its own hat with its "concern" over player safety. They have a concern about money when starting QB's go down and viewership taking a hit. Yeah, lets have 4 hard hitting playoff teams play on a Wednesday late in the season when they don't have time to recover from the week before.
