Ex-NFL coach advocates for new quarterback safety technique after Trevor Lawrence injury

Former NFL coach Rex Ryan has called for a change in how quarterbacks protect themselves after Trevor Lawrence's recent injury. Ryan suggests that instead of sliding, quarterbacks should dive at defenders' ankles to avoid hits and potential concussions. Lawrence was injured during a game against the Houston Texans after a tackle by linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair. Ryan criticized the current sliding technique, arguing it often leads to injuries rather than preventing them. He believes teaching quarterbacks to dive could improve their safety. Ryan's comments come amid ongoing discussions about quarterback safety in the NFL. He emphasized the need for better training to help young quarterbacks avoid dangerous situations during games.
