Cowboys star Micah Parsons ripped Bart Scott for seemingly blaming Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins for Damar Hamlin suffering cardiac arrest.
“Right before the tackle, he lowers his helmet, and he kind of throws his body into his chest,” Scott said on FT. “He’s standing up because he’s thinking he got to chase Tee Higgins at an angle to make a tackle, so he didn’t expect Tee Higgins to launch his body back into him."
He continued ... “It’s one of those things, a lot of times you see it as a linebacker … a running back comes through the hole, and he knows the contact is coming, so he lowers his helmet, and you can’t get underneath him so he’s able to get into you and your chest is exposed." "They have taken that out of the game, but they don’t really regulate it as much as possible. I expect the league will be a lot more vigilant when it comes to that and using that penalty.”As you know by now, Hamlin was carted off the field Monday night after his heart stopped on the field, and remains hospitalized at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where the 24-year-old appears to be making signs of progress, according to the Bills.
Scott responded to Micah directly on Twitter Wednesday, saying,"It’s wasn’t concise in my explanation, but this was from the third segment. The first segment, I said exactly what u said, it was a freak incident. And expressed my concern for Higgins and was happy his mom was there."
