    Default Ravens DC doesn't want 'NBA flop fest' from quarterbacks

    OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Don "Wink" Martindale criticized quarterbacks who are looking to draw roughing the passer penalties by dropping to the ground.

    Martindale was specifically asked about Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who received flak for falling down after getting hit in the head by Buccaneers pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul on Monday night.

    "Let's not turn this into the NBA flop fest," Martindale said Thursday. "Because now the quarterbacks are making a mockery of it to the officials and the league. Now, you're insulting the officials and the league if you do that."

    Roethlisberger told 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh that it was good call because Pierre-Paul's cast hit his helmet, although he acknowledged that he "might've went to the ground a little bit to sell it."

    If the QBs are going to be pulling this garbage in order to draw bogus 15 yard penalties, then maybe defenders should start deliberately laying hits on them that actually deserve 15 yard penalties.

    League brought it on themselves when they started dishing out penalties for defenders smacking the QB's helmet with their hands.
