ALAMEDA — Mo Hurst doesn’t remember the last time he helped a quarterback up after taking him to the ground.
Against the Dolphins last Sunday, after tackling Ryan Tannehill on 3rd-and-9 around Oakland’s 45-yard line, Hurst extended his right hand for Tannehill before even fully standing himself.
“I really didn’t think I was going to get called,” Hurst said Thursday. “If I help him up maybe they’ll be like, ‘Aw, he’s being nice to him. He’s not really trying to do anything bad.’”
The ref threw a flag anyway, and Hurst’s roughing the passer penalty offset offensive holding on Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki.
