That was a BAD concussion. I would expect him to miss multiple weeks. Maybe more. We don’t need him going the way of Jahvid Best. I suspect the Lions org will be EXTREMELY cautious with this one.
Yeah, it’s one thing if it’s done spontaneously, or where you can see the defender lowering his shoulder. This one almost seemed like TJH had planned on hurdling before the ball was even snapped. He tried. It failed. He’s a rookie. He will learn.
I’m not fine with this at all because it’s blatantly obvious what CAN or COULD happen when you try it. TJ’s neck could have been broken ! It is fuc^ing STUPID when you could have taken the yards on the ground. I mean cripes TJ got NOTHING but injured by trying to leap over a defender.
NOW we could be without him for half the season , which isn’t “fine”. First Round Pick %$#@!^ GONE over stupid shit !
As Patricia said post-game…it has become the In Vogue thing to do because it makes great highlight tape but he really does not want players to do it.
Personally I would rather see our big TEs turf a DB and run right through him even if he is brought down. The NEXT TIME the DB will dive for ankles like Louis Delmas
Doe he actually have a concussion tho? Yes he was knocked out and went thru the protocal but is it a fact he has a concussion or we just assuming he does??? Plenty of people get knocked out and don’t get concussed…I’m just curious if anyone knows if he does or not?
Honestly I’m not sure you can get knocked out without it being a concussion
Knockouts in boxing or any other sport happen when the brain is jarred against the skull … which is basically the definition of a concussion
When I played in the late 70s and early 80s they basically just said “you got your bell rung” and waited till your eyeballs refocused and You could tell the team doctor how many fingers he was holding up… then sent you’ back in the game
But I’m no doctor so I could be wrong. I am going to ask my wife who is in the medical field
Now this post explains why I am still a Lions fan LOL
