Steelers player calls out Cam Newton for
After watching take dozens of hits week after week, offensive lineman doesn't have much empathy for , who used his postgame pre s conference Sunday to expre s his dismay with the way his games are being officiated. After Carolina's 30-20 win over the , Newton said that he due to all the hits he's taking, and the fact that opposing players aren't being penalized for them. "It's not fun. It's really taking the fun out of the game for me," Newton said. "Honestly, it really is. At times, I don't even Reggie Perry Jersey feel safe. Enough is enough. I plan on talking to commi sioner Goodell about this. It's not fun. And I don't know what I have to do." Gilbert said Newton should be more like Roethlisberger, and not complain. "Ben gets hit more than anybody in the league and he never complains. C'mon man. This Jamal Crawford Jersey is the game of football," Gilbert said, . Gilbert's advice to Newton: If you don't want to get hit, then don't play football. "If you're out there and you're scared to take a shot, then don't be out there, especially if you're a running quarterback," Gilbert said. " Defenses are going to take shots at you. Just the way, his style of playing football, how he celebrates, I gue s he gives the guys a chip, like James Harden Jersey let's go hit the reigning MVP." The Steelers offensive lineman also added that defensive players seem to be out to get Newton because of the way he sometimes celebrates after a big play. "When he's running over people, he's going to stand right up and he's going to celebrate," Gilbert said. "This is the game of football. I'm sure there are cornerbacks or linebackers, whoever he's running over, the safeties, they aren't complaining about getting run over or getting crowned, facemask to facemask with the quarterback from a guy his size. Of course, guys are going to take shots. ... I don't think anybody is trying to purposefully hurt him, but Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey you're going to get those extra hits, especially against such a great player." If Newton wants to get hit le s, then Gilbert says he should go talk to the ' coaching staff. "If you don't like it, then tell the coach or the coordinator to change the whole game plan," Gilbert said. "Try to do something to protect you, because back a couple of years ago when Ben was getting hit a lot, we had to change Chris Chiozza Jersey our offense a little bit, put in a little extra protection to help him stay upright because he is the franchise player." If Newton does takes his complaints to Goodell, there's a chance they won't go anywhere. Pro Football Talk that the NFL calls since 2013, and Newton's not even in the top-10 for mi sed calls.
