Colts assistant and former Steelers S Mike Mitchell sounds off on Kazee suspension

Mike Mitchell, a former Steelers safety who now works with the Colts and is an assistant coach, discusses Kazee’s suspension. When Mike Mitchell played for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he was one of the NFL’s hardest-hitting safeties. Mitchell was a master and quite possibly of the most actual person on the field any given week.

Mitchell burned through four of his 10 NFL seasons with the Steelers and fostered a standing as perhaps of the greatest hitter in the optional. Mitchell joined the Colts as a defensive assistant in 2022. On Monday, following the announcement of Damontae Kazee’s suspension, he candidly expressed his concerns on Twitter.

“I don’t have the foggiest idea what to tell my protections any longer,” Mitchell composed. ” I surmise just let them [receivers] get it. I would dive for each catch if I were a wide receiver. That would guarantee no contact and a finished pass. Playing profound security in the present NFL where rules are made generally by individuals who’ve never played is extreme.”

In the wake of returning and watching the play that Kazee was launched out for excessively commonly, there’s zero uncertainty he had no evil purpose. We won’t be having this conversation today if Colts quarterback Garner Minshew hits that football. The hit was enormous however I’m not even certain on the off chance that it qualifies as an unlawful hit, substantially less a filthy hit.
