(you can tell that something is amiss before his head gets close to the turf in the replay)

This is how I saw it. I don’t think his head hit, it looked like he took a shot to the side of the neck.

yeah, it's really weird. I can't remember seeing anything like it before. his facemask hit his hand while his hand on was on the ground but the crown of his helmet never hit the turf. the whiplash/impact to the neck from the hit is what appears to have triggered it.

Ha! Sorry, posting from my phone while trying not to fall back asleep 5 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. I thought I was responding to something Rush posted about Bienemy going to the Patriots as OC.

You still need to be checked out under the blue tent along with every NFL owner trying to hire someone other than Bienemy as head coach right now.

mister d wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 9:47 am I think if you were trying to make sure your superstar QB was eligible to play in the conference title game, you'd do anything possible to spin the narrative away from concussion as quickly as possible. Not saying the choke-out explanation isn't legit, it might be, but it should be viewed with a lot of skepticism.

The Sybian wrote: ↑Tue Jan 19, 2021 2:59 pm I have it on very high authority that the NFL actually supports and encourages (not sure about enforcing) independent medical determinations, made in the best interest of player safety and removed from team interest. The same source also confirmed that this was not the case prior to the concussion story breaking open. He detailed several stories from 3 or 4 coaching regimes ago where he was placed under great pressure to clear players, and he told the owner he was resigning rather than doing it, and surprisingly, the owner ordered the coach to back off. He said most teams up until recently would fire the doctors for not clearing players, but that is no longer tolerated.

I can't disagree on either point. I was hoping the Jets would hire Bienemy. I wonder if he is an offensive genius, or if he is able to pull of some crazy schemes because his team is loaded with immense talent and speed. He clearly couldn't run those plays with the Jets offense, but maybe he is genius enough to build a scheme that could succeed with the players on the Jets roster. Everything I've read about Saleh sounds great, so I'm not disappointed.

Jets WRs arguably one of the faster groups in the league

Although, I am curious to see what would happen if you straight up switched Darnold and Mahomes and see what happens.
