He would've got that ball in the endzone somehow when we failed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 2 minutes ago, NoSaint said: The tricky part in live time is josh going down and to the inside. Lowering a shoulder into his chest on his original path puts a helmet into his helmet once he starts going low and inside of him. again, not arguing it’s clean, or a good hit but I think a tougher spot than some acknowledged in a split second with a lot of moving pieces and a goal of ending forward progress In general I agree with you that a lot of these hits the guys start to make the tackle and then the ball carrier lowers his head which makes it worse than it could have been. Like you, I would like to see it again. But when I watched the replay originally, not the live hit, it looked to me like he saw a Josh stopped and lowered his head to go right for Josh's.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 The sad thing is it completely impacted the outcome of the game. With all the intercepts, penalties, bad calls, McD bad challenge etc. we had the ball on the NE 40 yard line. We were dominating the second half, should have been 15 yards added so we have the ball inside the 30. Also, Barkley had other chances with good field position, I gotta feel Josh would have pushed one over the line in the fourth quarter! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that Josh was held up and he chose to lower his head to hit Josh in the helmet. He could have gone lower, he could have hit with shoulder. To me he was head hunting. There is absolutely no question about that, although I believe his intent was to injure. Did you see his immediate reaction? POS player and team.

Was feeling it with JA in there, especially if they got around the goal line. With Barkley, it was hoping against hope. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If that hit isn't the definition of targeting then the NFL isn't serious about player safety. Which we all cynically believe the case to be. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did look spry! Does anyone know if he ran to the correct locker room? That would be a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but he led with his helmet and it was very intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Josh was protecting himself from the first hit, then Jones came in clearly head first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if he will be at podium update: officially in concussion protocol this sucks as Allen needs to keep learning, but we will win with Barkley.

That was clearly done with intent, IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see his immediate reaction? POS player and team. I think he intentionally tried to go helmet to helmet. But... that said... his reaction to Josh being down could have easily been the same whether he did or didn't try to hurt him. I don't think that shows anything. I do think he tried to take off Josh's head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 If there were to be a blatantly late hit to Brady in the next meeting, it would not break my heart. Let them know we are all playing the same game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think quite a few guys have that reaction after a massive hit that they “win” in a major moment. I dont think there was much thought beyond “stop that dude” and “hell yea I stopped that dude” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running off means nothing other than right at that moment he was alert. He did lose consciousness and therefore did have a concussion and other additional things will define the severity of it. Many times patients are initially ok only to later suffer post concussion syndrome with symptoms like headaches , nausea , impaired cognitive function, mood lability etc. I would be surprised if he clears the post concussion protocols in as little as a week after a concussion / tbi with loss of consciousness that was about 1-2 min roughly. It is a staged process to return with increasing physical challenges that have to be performed with no return of any symptoms associated with the increased physical exercise demands, with additional cognitive testing as well. If any symptoms are precipitated by increased levels of exertion, things are put on hold to minimize risk of worsening outcomes with second traumatic head injuries. Since we are dealing with a literal bruise to the brain, it is easy to see how unpredictable it becomes regarding prognosis, just like you have seen as your own bruises ( a rough analogy ) heal at variable rates. I bet with a bye after Tennessee, they will be very conservative just like they have been with Singletary and I would guess Josh returns after the bye. It’s not impossible for him to make it in a week since he is healthy with no past concussion episodes / history I am aware of , but I think the odds are not in his favor to make it back for the Titans. Will know a lot more about his symptoms or lack of them in the next 24-48 hours. Will see tho, I’ve learned never to say never in medicine a long long time ago! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
