Mavric Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'll be surprised if he played. Being knocked unconscious would seem to be a fairly sever concussion (not that I have any expertise in the matter). Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 What i heard this morning is a nerve from the mandible to bottom of the brain that is pretty exposed, can be impacted. Causing a nighty-night scenario with zero concussion. Pretty common in boxing, but more rare in other things. Basically saying that it is possible. But, watching that I have a hard time believing no concussion at all the way his head impacted the ground. That was tough to watch. Quote Link to comment

I heard this on there as well, but I actually already knew about it before they mentioned it. I've seen guys knocked out when they got a good shot on the chin. Once they recovered and woke up they never had any symptoms of concussion. Actually what you have to be most worried about is the falling if they are standing when it happens. Once they get knocked out the most damage is usually done if they fall over and their head hits the ground. Quote Link to comment

But that would seem more likely on a hit from the front, not the side like TA had. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 If Armstrong is cleared to play, Fyfe still starts and will play until Minnesota causes him to turn it over twice. Then Tommy comes in. Quote Link to comment

As I posted in your status update, there's no way you can do that as a coach. If TA can play he starts. If he can't start he doesn't play. Why? Because if he can't start it means he can't play. There's no gray area in concussions. Either you are cleared or you aren't. Quote Link to comment

If he had a concussion I doubt he comes back, just gets picked up at the hospital after the game. Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I'd rather lose every remaining game than see Armstrong play a single down if he's not 100% good to go concussion wise. Ain't no kid's future worth a win or two in a game. 7 Quote Link to comment
