A good offensive line are like your bodyguards. They’re job is to not let you, the quarterback, get touched. And if someone tries to rough you up, you take them down.
That was the message sent to Carolina Panthers’ safety Eric Reid after nailing a sliding Ben Roethlisberger in the helmet late in the third quarter Thursday evening. Reid was ejected for the hit but before the refs could get him out there, Maurkice Pouncey and David DeCastro let him know about it.
DeCastro was the first player to race over and get in Reid’s grill.
