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.

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?"

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...

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...

Twice the left tackle moved early and Hughes moved early because of it. Once they didn't call it at all, once they called the penalty on Hughes when it wasn't even close that the LT moved early.

Rocbillsfan1 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Pretty ticky tacky don’t you think mods. We all know what this thread is about. Also hope he is ok. I thought the player should have been ejected under the new rules he lowered his head and lead with his helmet for no reason. Especially with a guy with his helmet off. If he doesn’t lower his head he would have saw he had no helmet. This could have been fatal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slipkid Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Horrible play and I hope Taiwan is okay. But did I miss something or was that a great “heads up” play by Taiwan under the circumstances? I’ve been no big fan of Taiwan in the past, but assuming he’s okay, I’ll take him on my team over Vontae Davis any day—can he play CB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's game was officiated by children. Mistakes were made all over the place. Each year it gets a little worse. Whatever happened to the 1 yard halo around a punt returner? The NFL pretends to be all safety conscious when it comes to kickoff returns and yet on a punt return you can hammer the guy at full speed while you're looking up in the air? A player loses his helmet, gets hit in the head by another helmet and no ejection. The NFL simply picks and chooses its rules from week to week and as it pleases.

Did not lose because of them, but they were AWFUL. It looked like they were all timid and/or had no clue what was going on sometimes. The bolded penalty was on Jerry Hughes. It was a bad call because it was clearly a false start (knew it before seeing a replay), but after watching it again, I did notice that Hughes had his hand in the dirt in the neutral zone before the snap. But the play should have been blown dead due to a false start. It wasnt caused by Hughes jumping early and creating a reaction by the LT. Should have been offsetting penalties and a replay of the down. They did also blow a false start against Groy that would have blown the play of the first TD dead. And there was a terrible hold called against Mills(? may have been Miller) that negated a very nice run. The officials sucked dog $#!+ today. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he didn't know if the ref called change of possession, he tried to get it out the end zone. Some posters in the GDT thought he was dumb, but he couldn't possibly know how the ref was going to rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
