He doesn't need to be a 'game manager' , whatever that is, he just needs to protect the ball better and make quicker, sound decisions. He's a dynamic player, I want to see him make big plays, he just needs to get better at it.
other than watching film on two qb's .... how much different do you prepare? You still run your own defense. Maybe deal with Allen's running ability over Barkley, but that's pretty much it.
Does the team clear players from protocol or do the doctors? Aren't the doctors independent from the team?
Not including the Bengals, while listing the Lions helmet as culprits for concussions really discredits your whole post. And a Raven can poke your eye out, which is worse than a concussion.
It's really amazing how people totally ignore his entire career except for 1 game against the Jets last year. Maybe he's a different QB now, if so , great. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I agree, i just don't think it's that big a deal. Probably just a handful of plays. They're not changing their base defense. Might just change strategy. But probably not, gonna blitz either QB a lot because it's probably good strategy. Prepare for Allen since he's more to deal with and a few adjustments for Barkley.
That's one thing. Significant or not, it doesn't dramatically change how they'll prepare this week. Instead of spying, they go into coverage or rush....or something else. That's all.
Other than that, it's the same playbook. I agree there is a difference, just don't see it being that big of one as far as planning goes. Add a couple things, maybe take out a couple...
Coaches, by league rule, are not allowed to comment on the status of the player in concussion protocol. Also, the player is not to made available to reporters. So it's not BS.
And I don't think that it's a significant advantage to not be sure who the starter is. It's probably not as complicated as people think. It's not like we change the playbook.
If you don't think he's 100% ok to play after a neurologist says he is, what would convince you he's 100% to play against Miami... just because he sat out another week? Why wouldn't there be an added benefit to getting him back in action this weekend and maybe winning the game?
I'm a 'Reverend'. I've married a few couples. You go online , give them your name, email.... and you're in. It is very common.
I'm with Universal Life Church, Reverend is a term they use, that is how you sign the marriage license.
Sit him out even if he is healthy? Why?
Barkely has been in the league since 2013 and hasn't won 3 games in his career, what makes you think he can win 3 in one season?
I thought the facemask wasn't really a big deal, but those were definitely groundings. Not out of the pocket, ball didn't reach the LOS. Terrible non calls.
