RG3 'mild' concussion - now what?

SkinsJock · Post by **SkinsJock** » Sun Oct 07, 2012 5:00 pm

this just in- Mike S has just announced the news = "mild concussion"

ANY concussion is VERY serious

this franchise needs this kid - they have to be very careful with ensuring that he can play QB here for a long time

Yeah hopefully he will pass the concussion test and will be fine however he couldn't remember what quarter it was or the score when the training staff looked at him after the hit.

It was going to happen... he needs to have a better understanding of when to surrender... he was going nowhere, and should have stepped out before the point of contact.

Or thrown the ball away. Just a flick of the wrist, in that situation.

This has been RG3's slowest area of development.

Yep he has to learn what hits to take, when to run out of bounds, he can't try and be Superman and sometimes like you say ya have to surrender

Also Aldrick did actually get knocked out by Merriweather last week and he was back today so hopefully it's as mild as mild can be

Not good. Griffin had a concussion late in the season at Baylor so that's 2 concussions in less than a year.

True, Very true. Sadly

Never good to see a concussion but maybe if 52 other players cared that much these bums wouldn't be 2-3.

Didn't know that so that's definitely not good

So does this mean he'll be out for next week?

Tweet from RG3:

@RGIII

Thank you for all the prayers & support
I'm ok and I think after all the testing I will play next week.

In other words, know when to be daring.

Hope he's OK.

Not sure how you can call it "mild" when he doesn't know the score or what quarter it is.

Is it me?

I thought he was trying to slide and got hit by a shoulder pad to the head when he was defenceless. It could and should have been a penalty!

Sean Taylor doing that to ANY other QB would have landed us at least 15 yards with a personal penalty and probably a misconduct and a fine.

Yes, I agree that he should NOT put himself in those situations but he was already sliding when he was hit (which was the second hit in that tackle).

I don't think he was sliding, but he did take a shot to the head. A penalty should have been called.

Hopefully Shanny uses that investigation as an opportunity to BLAST the NFL (publicly and privately) for not calling the hit to the head that CAUSED the concussion....

"Sorry NFL, since there was no call for a hit to the head, we figured it couldn't be a concussion."

The timing wasnt any different than when London got called for the 15 yarder against Tom Brady last year.

Some guys get the call, some dont.

Now our team is under investigation once again?
Why is the NFL evaluating the way the Redskins handled it, is my question. It looks to me so far that the team is taking all the precautions. They just have an issue with how Mike Shannahan chooses to "word" it. Give me a break!

Mara is the puppeteer and Goodell dances once again.

It was clean. He hit RG3's shoulder and RG3's head bounced up into his shoulder. Yeah, it was a hard hit, but RG3 should have slid or gone out of bounds. He wasn't going to make it.

On one of the angles, you could clearly see the elbow to the jaw. I was in that end zone in the club level and saw the elbow. The point of the elbow hit RGIII across the jaw, it looked liked a classic boxing right hook, but instead of a fist, he got a UFC elbow.

RGIII did start to slide but that was a last minute slide out of desperation. Though the blow wasn't as bad as the hit he took in a Baylor game that concussed him and made him miss the next game, the situation was similar. He was going for the end zone and when he realized he wasn't going to make it, he slid at the last moment and nearly got his head taken off. I was hoping that he would never do that in the NFL, well....

I just hope that he gets it now, for his sake, his family's sake, the team's sake and the fans' sake.

I too wonder what the league is investigating. It's not like they put
him back in the game or something stupid like that. LOL

Hey, I'm in Hagerstown, MD.

They said his return was "questionable" when he was definitely out and they said he was "shaken up" when they knew he had concussion symptoms. I'm not arguing for it, I'm just answering the question. I don't see how it gives the Falcons an advantage to be vague, but it's technically violation of the league rule to be swift and accurate.

jmooney · Post by **jmooney** » Mon Oct 08, 2012 8:42 am

Right, he didnt return. They are'nt saying he will next week and Belechic has been cryptic about injury reports for years. Nobody says $#!+ to that guy. This is all part of Mara's personal vendetta and has mandated Goodell to do so. I feel like they've been waiting for this.

At least there are a few of us up here in H-Town that aren't Steelers fans, lol

When reporting to the league that makes sense. The only injury report were required to give the Falcons is before gametime. This happens every week with every team and theres no investigation, concussions or any other injury.

If the league wants to run it this way. Let them provide a medical staff for every stadium on gameday.
