If it were that easy, everyone would be wearing them already. This sucks. 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.

Well, all we know is what we see. He’s not practicing nor did he play in the last game. There is a reason for that. We just don’t know the details of why and what the prognosis is.

whatdrought 13,756 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I mean, it’s possible he really is struggling to recover, but how many coaches wouldn’t love to have one of their star players sitting during pre-season? I have a feeling he’ll play in the third game, start practicing before it, and then play the opener without a problem. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites

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 post Share on other sites

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'.

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.

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 post Share on other sites
