Tom pretty much nails it, and this is a PERFECT example of what he said. “The defense has to protect the offense now, the offense can play how they want, but the defense has to make sure they protect them”

This is the perfect take for this exact play. You run a toss to your QB and he gets cracked. The offense can just play with reckless abandon and everyone expects the defense to make the right move, but hey, make sure you stop them, no not like that. hey sack that QB, no not like that. No one is arguing that player safety is important, what’s being argued is that the NFL is making it near impossible to play defense.
