Tom Brady’s tirade is approved by J.J. Watt following Damontae Kazee’s suspension.
Former DE with the Arizona Cardinals J.J. Watt has always been a strong supporter of player safety and equity.
Arizona With his enormous social media following, former Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt has been a vocal advocate for sparing NFL players from harsh fines and bans by sharing his firsthand account of making a lot of mistakes in the heat of competition.
This happened once more when Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee was suspended by the NFL for the rest of the season without receiving paid for hitting Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman.
Former NFL quarterback and multiple champion Tom Brady said the following on Instagram in response to a post regarding the suspension:
Nobody enjoys watching athletes suffer injuries. However, severe blows do occur. Quarterbacks shouldn’t pass the ball in situations where doing so exposes their teammates to hits of this nature.
Better coaching is required from coaches, quarterbacks who can read coverages and place the ball in the appropriate spots, and defenders who target the right hitting locations.
It is just plain incorrect to constantly place the responsibility on the defence player. Better quarterback play is required! QBs, it is not acceptable for your wide receivers to be struck due to poor decision-making!
