sleeby Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) Anyone know how he's doing? Sorry to start a new thread but dood looks to have taken a hard hit of helmet to skull and was bleeding more than a little from his scalp or forehead. I found it curious how the broadcast never mentioned all the blood nor the helmet to head - they only replayed the same view where the ref was blocking the hit. I did not even hear an update on him in the second half. Seems they wanted it to not be a thing. Hope he's ok.

A single name if far too vague to post as a title and provides little insight into what specifically the post is talking about.The topic starter can edit the topic title line to make it more appropriate.

DC Tom Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I think, in today's context of the hit he took, this may be an excusable exception to the rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Meaning today a title of "Taiwan Jones" should cause most people to ask first before anything "How's his skull?" Ergo, the name should be enough of a title in this case. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeby Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) You're replying to the auto reply I think. If so, thank you - I'm not one to start threads generally. Just seemed like more than something I wanted to hear about but also maybe a deeper subject in there. Sure, he's special teams but he's also a member of the NFL and they should respect him as their employee. 2 minutes ago, DC Tom said: Meaning today a title of "Taiwan Jones" should cause most people to ask first before anything "How's his skull?"

Don't thank me, I'm just expressing my own opinion, and have no authority whatsoever. Putting aside my opinion...objectively, you broke the rules. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimKellyTryouts Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 He was listed as 'questionable' to return (didn't), so the good news is that he wasn't immediately ruled out - hopefully just a laceration. The ref seemed to be more concerned about where the ball was being spotted than the helmet-less player himself. An ejection could have and most certainly should have happened... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so fast I'm surprised it was flagged at all. The Billsy thing would be for Jones to get flagged for a uniform violation. (hope he's OK) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I hope it was just a cut. Scary situation for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It was weird how this extraordinarily dangerous hit (even setting aside the issue of whether there was anything illegal about it) was hardly mentioned. I don't recall ever seeing a helmetless player hit in the head like that before. A little "We're glad to report that Taiwan Jones is up talking and walking about, although we don't expect him to return today" would've been nice, at least for those people out there who know him and were worried about him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking, the NFL likes hiding stuff like this...when I go on youtube to watch highlight reels, you hardly ever see spotty officiating calls and nasty injuries like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleeby Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 I had to rewind to confirm his bandana was all white before the hit so as to know that was all blood when they showed him walking out the tunnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 How did the officials not all blow their whistles as soon as his helmet came off and he started running? The officials were abysmal in this game. Not at all a reason we lost but they were terrible. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fansince88 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Keep in mind that the head bleeds real bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ejection could have and most certainly should have happened... today's officiating crew was a total joke. They botched the ejection there, botched our fumble recovery, and called a phantom lining up in the neutral zone on us on a Chargers 3rd down (it was a false start). 10 minutes ago, Kelly the Dog said: How did the officials not all blow their whistles as soon as his helmet came off and he started running?

It looked like they were all timid and/or had no clue what was going on sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
