Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh believes Pat Freiermuth was at fault for the Derwin James suspension.
Pittsburgh Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz & Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth in game. Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Los Angeles Chargers on Sept. 22, 2024. Kylee Surike | Special to PennLiveDays after Los Angeles Chargers star safety Derwin James was suspended for a hit on Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth for repeatedly violating the NFL’s health and safety protocols, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh ripped the NFL for their decision.
"There was not a defenseless player, changed his course, and I thought that Derwin’s helmet was stiff-armed by Mr. Freiermuth,” Harbaugh said. “I thought that caused his head to make the contact, and I thought the contact was first with the forearm, then the shoulder, then the head.”, where our team of sports betting experts has reviewed the experience, payout speed, parlay options and quality of odds for multiple sportsbooks.
The Steelers have experienced it themselves with safety Damontae Kazee, who missed the final three games of the 2023 season after“The evidence is right there on the tape. Look at all his 20-some tackles on the season and he is going out his way, literally going out of his way, sometimes giving up yards, so that he can not injure another player or hit him with the head. I’m disappointed,” Harbaugh said.
The NFL continues to crack down on violations of its health and safety protocols, with the examples of players like Kazee and James. What Harbaugh says in this case seems out there, and James is at fault. That hit itself did not get James suspended, but a culmination of hits in that manner is what has hit him with fines and now a suspension over the years.
