Michael Strahan didn’t approve of Azeez Al-Shaair’s dirty hit that knocked Trevor Lawrence out of Sunday’s game — and the former Giants star didn’t hesitate to criticize the Texans’ linebacker.
Strahan described the crushing blow — when Al-Shaair dove and connected with Lawrence’s helmet even after the Jaguars’ quarterback had already started to slide during the second quarter — as “uncalled for.”
“I think he threw himself out of the game,” Strahan, an NFL analyst for Fox, said during the network’s halftime show. “I personally think he did that because he realized if he had stayed in that game, he was not going to be protected for that game because what he did — everybody knows as a defensive player — you don’t do that.
“They’re just getting Trevor Lawrence back.
