The OL success is very much about cohesion and communication and that is best built thru live football. No way McProcess sees this absence as a positive. *At best* it's an unfortunate but necessitated inconvenience. Having important players not playing meaningless games? Yeah.. okay. Cohesion is important and that’s why he’ll practice and play later. Just no point in exposing him to any unnecessary risk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to change your avatar to the "ancient aliens" dude.............you can build a totally implausible narrative with almost no material with the best of em'. I ain't mad, it's entertaining at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t need an elaborate exaggerated concussion protocol to do so That’s exactly it - these twisted narratives about “well, they are just keeping him in the protocol all preseason just so he doesn’t play” are a bit far fetched. They could have easily just said, before the first preseason game, “he’s fine, we ain’t playin him.” Exactly like what they did with McCoy.

What we do know is that this is his fourth concussion and he missed 5 games in 2018 because of one. At some point very soon the question will be quality of life after football.

RiotAct Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 if he does end up missing significant time this season then retiring, I may have to bust out some Evanescence CDs, candles, and black face paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not 100% on how it works, but I doubt anyone on the coaching staff can intentionally keep a player In CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m praying he can be all we had hoped for, but I’ll put the man ahead of the player. It was a gamble. We knew that. I think he'll have whatever experimental state of the art contraption exists.

It's a crap shoot. I'm sure if Luke Keuchly was available, multiple teams would show interest. Who was the other center that everyone assumed we were going after? From Denver iirc. Maybe that should have been the choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jpsredemption Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Morse and Kroft, signings that should have come under immediate scrutiny due to lofty contracts and injury concerns and in Krofts case production concerns, do not look good right now. This front office wants to take gambles and a part of me respects that but the concussion concerns should no longer be overlooked. Careers will now end prematurely because of it and for good reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
