As I saw the play the QB was bent forward at the waist to protect the ball and when contacted by the defender, he fell forward onto his head. I do not believe the defender drove him into the ground. The contact just was not that violent. I do not get NFL Network, but hope to get the explanation second hand.
If this is what the NFL wants to protect the QB's, then defenders will be getting called for cheap fouls, and paying fines an awful lot. I understand the need to protect high-priced players, but it is football after all.
Carey's explanation was self-contradictory. He said is was not unnecessarily rough, then he said the defender gave extra effort and drove his head into the ground. It sounds like Carey may be covering his a$$.
