Blindside hit on David Andrews was ‘extremely dirty’ says Matthew Slater

After an illegal blindside block knocked him out of Monday Night’s loss to Chicago, Patriots offensive lineman David Andrews is in concussion protocol according to Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed.

On Tuesday night, Patriots captain and special teams ace Matthew Slater addressed the hit on WEEI’s “Mut At Night.”

“I think the league is making an effort to get those hits out of the game,” Slater said . “I think that was an extremely dirty play, and my concern is with the health and well-being of David. I just hate to see any teammate down on the field like that and having to go through that type of situation.
