Comments on: Sideline monitors weren’t working when Celek concussed http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/12/sideline-monitors-werent-working-when-celek-concussed/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: mogogo1 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/12/12/sideline-monitors-werent-working-when-celek-concussed/#comment-2176444 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:54:30 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1580941#comment-2176444 It sounds like the medical evaluations have the same problem as the officiating–all they care about is if the play “looked” bad. “Hard hit, gotta throw the flag.” “Hard hit, the guy must have gotten a concussion.”

The NFL is so petrified of the former players’ concussion lawsuits that they’re implementing all these things that make absolutely no sense. There are tests to see if a guy has a concussion. Looking at a video isn’t going to help anything as virtually every hit in a game could in theory cause a concussion.

I’m not sure exactly what the point is. This isn’t a case where, say, Robert Griffen gets a concussion and the next week he’s playing. It’s obviously a liability thing.

I mean if a guy takes a hit and tells you that he has a sore neck and lost consciousnesses , what do you need to look at?

You can’t blame them for that.

From brian Westbrook being rushed out 2 weeks after a concussion wich basically ended his career when he immediatly suffered another one (yes I know he want to san fran the next year but he was a shot player by then) to Mike Vick getting”dirt in his eye” though his visor when his bell was rung to now the sideline monitors not working when celek got hurt. This team is the worst offenders when it comes to dealing with concussions for years.
