Comments on: No Dwight Freeney, Austin Collie doubtful for Colts http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/14/no-dwight-freeney-austin-collie-doubtful-for-colts/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Wed, 19 Jun 2013 21:30:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: coltsluckdynasty http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/09/14/no-dwight-freeney-austin-collie-doubtful-for-colts/#comment-1994395 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 19:16:46 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1261228#comment-1994395 I get that, I understand the players understand the risks, but the same players that “understand” the risks, are the exact same players that line up to sue the nfl…. 4 concussions in 2 years, means he will never be the same. Why would a coaching staff, neurologist, or anyone let this guy comeback? So he can end up like Merrill hoge? And have to learn to walk, speak, and live a normal life all over again? I honestly don’t care, of he’s cleared to play, and has another concussion, that’s on him. I just hate to see someone risk thier health, when we all know it’s best for him to call it quits. Some guys just can’t/won’t believe that their heads aren’t made for the punishment of the nfl. I guess I shouldn’t worry, because I’m just a fan, but it would be terrible to see this guy take another hit. Look at the one he suffered during the Philly game, body convulsing, and knocked out cold… Scary

This will be his last year as a Colt

What do you want the league to do? Have you ever heard of personal accountability? Individual freedom? These players know what theyre risking. They may come back in 10 years looking for a money grab, but they wont get a thing, nor should they.

He’ll get more money from a 4-3 team next off season coming off an injury than he would after looking terrible in a 3-4 for a season.

His declining numbers, his 19 million dollar contract, and inability to pick up the 3-4 scheme should have been indicators. He was effective when playing with a lead, and was let loose… Glad we extended Mathis, he ha always been a class act, and been accused of benefiting from freeney, last weeks 2 sacks are proof enough. Austin collie: you now have suffered your 3rd possibly 4th concussion. If the wind blows wrong, you get a concussion, it’s really time to think about calling it quits. This would be the exact reason the nfl is facing several lawsuits over concussions, because players want to keep risking it, and the league lets them… I hope there is a liability release to players, if they choose to play, against better judgement….

Those injuries usually take a few weeks to heal, and his best pass-rushing move (the spin move) puts a ton of strain on his ankles, so that may make them reluctant to put him on the field earlier due to the risk of reinjury.

SKOAL!!!
