It seems pretty apparent to me that Matt was concussed from smacking the back of his head on the ground.

Needs to lift some weights and build up dat neck strength.

The ground gives and the helmet has padding... It's not like he slammed his helmet less head on the concrete

Doesn't matter. It helps but you can get concussions from pretty weak looking shots, falls, etc.

Maybe but I swear I think players fake shit all the time in the NFL.

I don't know about faking entirely being extremely prevalent but several milk stuff for penalties (flopping).

Here is a good example about how the impact from someone already concussed hitting the ground can jolt them back awake. This works the other way in football, bc typically players aren't KO'd before they hit the ground.

The whole thing just seems a bit too convenient to me with all the bad press this week about Cassel
