Former Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman applauds the Dallas Mavericks who beat the Utah Jazz in Game 5 of an NBA first-round playoff game at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, April 25, 2022. The Mavericks won 102-77.Troy Aikman, the former Dallas Cowboys quarterback, has addressed a comment he made during ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast this week calling for the NFL to ““Yeah, I mean, my comments were dumb.
“But the other part of ... what came from that, what I said was that it implied that I’m not in favor of protecting the quarterbacks, which could not be further from the truth. I’m totally in favor of the protection that the quarterbacks are afforded, and all players for that matter. But there’s no question there has been over-enforcement of the protection for quarterbacks.”
Aikman’s initial comments stemmed from a play in which Chiefs’ defensive lineman Chris Jones sacked Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who was still in possession of the ball at the time. Jones brought Carr down, landing on top of him while stripping him of the ball, coming up with it himself. Rather than forcing a turnover, he was instead flagged for roughing the passer.
Troy Aikman: "My hope is the [NFL] Competition Committee looks at this in the next set of meetings, and you know, we take the dresses off."
