Brees was not brought to the ground by the neck. Brees went down because he got hit from behind. The arm ended up sliding up to the neck, but there was nothing the defender could have done about that. He is not allowed to put his weight on top of Brees and take him to the ground.
He was trying to make a legal hit.
He couldnt have bent down just a little bit and made a clean, form tackle? Yes, he most certainly could have. He had that opportunity and went high. It was a dumb play by him.

Not the brooks was blocked, but He only really had one 100% clean step off the Tackle before hitting brees who was stepping up in the pocket. I really think if brees leg doesn't get caught under him we aren't having this discussion, that was what made for such a awkward tackle.

He did not lead with his head. He led with his chest, which is what the NFL asks a defender to do. Please tell me when the defensive end, while avoiding a block to get to the quarterback before he gets rid of the ball or scrambles, has time to slow down, square up perfectly to the qb, and lightly wrap the qb up around the torso.
