I'm just as confident with one as I am with the other. This could actually be like Levi B.'s situation years ago.
Obviously I watched Gunner fall back. I've also seen Tua T's injuries and CJ Donaldson's at WVU this past weekend. I watched them several times and honestly, except for Tua's second slam-down, none of them really looked as substantial as the injury would suggest. I'm not at all suggesting that they're not - just that visually they didn't look as bad as the outcome revealed. And it seems unusual that we've had three (really 4 but counting Tua's as one) similar concussive injuries right on top of each other when I can't think of another year that there were that many nearly identical injuries that were so highlighted. I know the equipment constantly evolves and "improves" but it kinda makes me suspicious if helmets now are not doing quite as good a job as they were just a few generations ago. I know they're trying to be more protective and cautious and perhaps that's it but Tua's and CJ's wasn't precaution - they were both pretty scary results from something that didn't look too bad on film. Anyway, it'd be pretty scary to have your career possibly incapacitate you now or at some future point that you don't see coming later in life because of the trama received in game play. I wouldn't want to do it for any amount of cash. I do some woodworking on the side and take an abundance of care about breathing in those fine dust particles because they will shred your lungs over time and can be quite the hidden killer.

I do some woodworking on the side and take an abundance of care about breathing in those fine dust particles because they will shred your lungs over time and can be quite the hidden killer. As a medical professional that is directly involved in the post anesthesia recovery period of surgery patients, I’ve learned that the “violence” or the “perceived seriousness” of the fall or impact to the head isn’t always directly related to the seriousness of the injury. I’ve taken care of patients who required a craniotomy to evacuate a blood clot after “falling” and “bumping” their head. The best example I can think of, and the beginning of my recognition of this, occurred at the end of the Daytona 500 in 2001 when Dale Earnhardt died from a crash. As a race fan, I’ve seen violent and serious crashes (Waltrip hitting the gate at Bristol, for example) and seen the drivers walk away. Earnhardt’s crash didn’t look serious, yet it was fatal. Couple this with an increasing awareness of the long term effects of multiple concussions and you get the abundance of caution seen these days. I think it’s a good thing. For Gunnar’s sake, he needs to be shut down from contact for as long as it takes for him to get completely over this. I applaud HCJS for saying, that out of an abundance of caution and for Gunnar’s well being, he wouldn’t let Gunnar play this week even if he clears protocol. Player safety and long term health should come before winning.

Yep! Totally support the current trend for sure. I'm just surprised we haven't seen this stuff happening much more frequently than now. Just imagine what sorts of damage got missed or overlooked over the years.

There is a pretty rigid protocol for concussive injuries. The old days are long gone. These protocols are followed and no matter what the patient or coach would like is virtually irrelevant.

I keep eagerly awaiting the Game Notes for USM to be released, but nothing has been released. Aren't they usually released on Mondays?
I'm mainly curious who the starting QB will be this week.

No doubt but what I mean is not the coach pulling someone because of the possibility but a situation where the player was down/knocked out or there was some serious and obvious neurological disturbance such as Tua's.

Won't tell us much. Some of the guys we knew were going to be out last were listed on the depth chart.

You are right, he was speaking of Ransaw.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just saying, why in the world would we announce who the QB will be? Make USM prepare for 2 guys, don't make it easy on them.

Personally, I think Gunnar runs out of the tunnel as QB1. However, I was proud to hear Coach say "First and foremost I treat these young men like my own sons" when discussing how seriously he takes head and neck injuries. It's nice to listen to a press conference and feel pride again.

I guess I've gotten too used to (The HC we don’t speak of) (The HC we don’t speak of) & Co... they would always telegraph who the starters would be on the game notes.

Dagger is solid. I'm sensing "Dagger Swagger" merch being screen printed as we type.
