The injury to Lawrence has reignited the debate about QB safety in the NFL.
A self-proclaimed expert on the human body south of the ankle, former Jets and Bills head coach Rex Ryan is calling for quarterbacks to 'dive' at the feet of opposing defenders. This is instead of sliding the way Trevor Lawrence did on Sunday to prevent quarterbacks suffering concussions like the Jacksonville signal-caller did after taking a cheap shot from linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair of the Houston Texans.
Immediately, the guy's going to go to protect himself; he's not worried about tackling you.'It's an interesting take and certainly one that may have some validity as quarterbacks often do take hits while sliding, a maneuver that is theoretically supposed to prevent injuries — not cause them.
