The title of this thread as well as the "article" linked by the OP is misleading.  I don't think that Coach Ryan was blaming Trevor at all.  He was actually trying to defend and justify his player's dirty hit.  Take a look at the transcript of his press conference and read his whole quote.  He talks about quarterbacks sliding in general and never once said that it was Trevor's fault.

Where I disagree with Coach Ryan is when he said that our team "over reacted" after the hit.

Quote:And the entire thing is Azeez – he hits the guy, but their sideline overreacts and it turns into a melee. It wasn't our guys. It's their team overreacted, pushed our guy, dragging our guy to the sideline, so that's uncalled for on that side. We have to be better on the sidelines, as well, with both teams.

If I was a coach I would be disappointed if my team didn't react that way to a dirty hit on our quarterback (or any other player for that matter).
