Count former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady among those against seeing suspended Pittsburgh Steelers defender Damontate Kazee out for the rest of the year.
If Damontae Kazee needs a reference for his potential appeal against a season-ending suspension, former New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will be in his corner.
Brady is among the many critics who have ripped the NFL’s decision to shut down Kazee for the year. The Pittsburgh Steelers’ secondary defender is under fire for a big hit laid on Indianapolis Colts receiver Michael Pittman on an incompletion during the teams’ Saturday showdown, one that yielded a 15-yard penalty and an ejection.
But Brady feels that it takes a team effort to avoid big hits, expressing his thoughts in a comments section monologue under a SportsCenter post confirming Kazee’s suspension.
“Nobody likes seeing players get hurt. But hard hits happen,” Brady wrote. “QBs should not be throwing the ball in areas where they are exposing their own teammates to these types of hits. Coaches need to coach better, QBs (need) to read coverages and throw the ball to the right places and defenders should aim for the right hitting areas.
To put the blame on the defense player all the time is just flat out wrong. Need better QB play!! It’s not OK QBs to get your WRs hit because of your bad decisions!”
- Pittman dove to catch a pass from quarterback Gardner Minshew, leading to head-to-head contract with Kazee, who had come to make a play on the ball. The Indianapolis star was forced to leave the game with a concussion though the Colts prevailed, 30-13.
