Packers' Clay Matthews weighs in after NFL clarifies QB hits Matthews has been called for a roughing-the-passer call in each of the Packers' first three games. Two of the hits appeared to be normal tackles."I don't know if that statement really expresses how they're going to call it moving forward," Matthews said after practice on Thursday."Furthermore after seeing the video, too, all hits on the quarterback that came from straight on, which is what they teach Steve Young White Elite Jersey you since Pee Wee football with running backs, receivers or whatever is to approach them head-on if you can — those were all illegal hits, much like the two hits I had on (Vikings quarterback Kirk) Cousins and (Redskins quarterback Alex) Smith last week, which were conveniently left out of the video."The NFL released a video online that showed flagged and legal hits, though it was not clear if Matthews was talking about the same video."All of the acceptable hits which were legal came from off the edge or quarterbacks that were trying to fight out of a sack," Matthews said. "If they continue to call it like that, I think there's going to be more penalties, players are obviously going to be upset, coaches are going to continue to not know how to coach it and fans will continue to be upset by the fact that the NFL can't seem to get out of its own way."Matthews had a conversation with team president Mark Murphy, who is Nike Solomon Thomas Jersey On Sale on the competition committee, after the committee's latest meeting. Asked if Murphy had any advice, Matthews said "No, no . I think it was more so, just continue to play in the way I which I have."I think they were just trying to get some clarity on how ... besides the hits, I think there's been a lot of inconsistency with how it's been called with Nike Richard Sherman Jersey On Sale different crews out there," Matthews said. "I think that was maybe to clear it up, for officiating, but I'm not sure how it was being called before."Still, Matthews said that a slight adjustment might need to be made that when going after a quarterback head-on, that he might have to "pick a side, maybe go after the ball. Those are going to be the tough ones."The linebacker added: "Physics would say when you're coming from straight-on, you can't hit somebody with just your shoulder, wrap up with your arms. I mean, that's the way you play football, and I think that's what fans want to see. So I get it. As I continue to say, they're trying to protect the quarterbacks."Matthews said it's also difficult to officiate intent though it's something that the linebacker would like to see. He indicated he did not intend to put his full body weight on the quarterback on at least two of his hits.While Matthews has expressed frustration with the calls over the past few weeks, he did allow for moments of levity in front of his locker on Thursday."There's a NaVorro Bowman Authentic Jersey big difference between falling on a guy and driving a guy on the ground, and I think that would allow the Nike Dwight Clark Jersey On Sale officiating to be much cleaner," Matthews said. "But maybe they can make room and put one more guy on the competition committee. Me."___Joe Staley Jersey Kenneth Acker White Elite Jersey Garry Gilliam White Elite Jersey Don Jones Jersey Dekoda Watson Jersey Nike Marcus Martin Jersey On Sale Customize White Elite Jersey Jayson DiManche White Elite Jersey Donavin Newsom Jersey Elvis Dumervil Jersey Donavin Newsom White Elite Jersey Erik Magnuson Jersey Robbie Gould White Elite Jersey Nike George Kittle Jersey On Sale Nike Vance McDonald Jersey On Sale
