"Bengals coach Zac Taylor on Friday delivered an impassioned defense of linebacker Logan Wilson after he was scrutinized for his tackle of Baltimore tight end Mark Andrews and other plays that resulted in injuries to Ravens players during Thursday night's game.
Taylor took exception to how Wilson was portrayed in the hours after the game."

Article also notes: "In March, the NFL Players Association released a statement that urged the league's competition committee not to ban the hip-drop, noting such a measure is "unfair to players and unrealistic to implement."
Even Patrick Queen defended: "Ravens linebacker Patrick Queen said that while he hated that Andrews was hurt, he defended the hip-drop.
"At the end of the day, we play football," Queen said. "We play a tackling sport. I don't think a hip-drop tackle is that bad of a thing. How else do you want us to tackle? Just let the guy run past you?"
Or course Harbaugh: "Harbaugh suggested the Ravens were going to have the league office review Wilson's tackle on Jackson."
Thumbs up for Taylor to do this. Wilson is a class act and a fundamental tough football player. Nothing he does is dirty unlike the asswipes in Pittsburgh. I would love to see the fake sports news media perform an analysis on the Steelers inflicting injuries on other teams. Of course they won’t because true journalism is dead and it is all about generating hype and not true news with substantive facts
