The QB Hit rule strikes again (or so he claims)

Breeland Speaks says he let Tom Brady out of his grasp

 

 

Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Breeland Speaks admitted he was worried about being called for a roughing the passer penalty on Tom Brady when he appeared to let the quarterback out of his grasp on a key play late in the fourth quarter Sunday.

Brady gave the Patriots the lead with a rare touchdown run with 5:25 remaining when he escaped a would-be sack by Speaks on third down and scored on a 4-yard scramble.

On that clip, it does not look as though he had that much of a grasp on him actually.  Sounds like more of an excuse for missing the play.  He is probably embarrassed. Hughes definitely had Mariotta in the grasp and let him go.

Even if he got the sack, the refs already had the Pats* back on that play. Would have been 1st and goal from the 2. 

 

Still though he needs to make the tackle, regardless. 

Lol that was a mugging by the Chiefs they had call it.. but your right he has make the tackle no matter the excuse.

Looked to me as if he had one hand inside of Brady’s leg and the other on his waist. Probably would have gotten called for “ body slamming” Brady on that one. Definitely would have lifted his leg off the ground.

Hence the title.  Or so he says

He is full or crap.  Or...he isn't all that sharp. There's no way the refs were even close to calling him for a penalty on that play.

Just as they weren’t close to calling a penalty on Hughes vs TEN. The player in question let go instead of finishing the play, as doing so would likely have drawn the flag. It’s pretty clear in both instances that the player simply let the QB go.

Zero Pats* penalties. One called was offsetting. So, no jersey tugs the entire game by any Pats* player. Sure.

Last season Chiefs were called for 15 penalties and beat the Pats* because of a super human offensive performance. Pats* only called for one ref subjective penalty in that game.
