Wow....

Gotta wonder if he's considering retirement honestly. If this truly stems from concussion, he must have gotten completely effed up.

Best wishes.

2 totally different body types. Lynch could play LB if he wanted.

Talented player, but I would far rather have a versatile skill position player who can stay onfield and block than one who we need to "get the ball to in space."

1. The aforementioned effect of striking the ground, which is a much more immovable object than an opposing player.

2. How close the respective ∆ts are to the critical value for skull deceleration. If both are well above, it's not much of a difference.

1) In the vast majority of tackles, striking the ground is going to happen at a speed that is much closer to gravitational acceleration. Their velocity on the y axis will be significantly slower, given that they aren't falling much of a distance at all.

2) Yes, if they are both well above it wouldn't matter much. But if they were, you would have players getting concussed on essentially every play, and even advocates of epidemic CTE acknowledge that this does not happen.

It's almost like that was my point.

Agree with Hamas here. I'm a big proponent of playing Jamaal at receiver more next season so he doesn't take as many hits up the middle. He could easily replace DAT's role on offense of/when he retires.

Houston is practicing! Has a brace on his knee

Someone else doesn't have to be the answer - they just have to not be a problem...

But this isn't the case. It's just flawed perception.

Hammond is averaging more per return than DAT, this season and last.

You can hate on Hammond all you want to but to say that DAT is a better returner is false.

Numbers don't lie.

I like Hammond. He was solid in return last year. This year he wasn't on a team this year for most of the season. He also was brought back in shitty weather games. With that said I wana see some improvement Sunday. Don't make dumbass decisions.

Making poor decisions is a byproduct of not seeing the field.

Personally, I think Hammond is a more than adequate returner and 5th/6th WR and with experience, he'll continue to improve and grow.

Regardless of what happens with DAT, I hope that spending draft picks and gadget players has come to an end.

Without looking at stats I think Knile has been doing a better job on KOs then DAT was.

I think he can be used like DAT too. Jet sweeps and short routes. I also would like to see Fred Williams get a shot this Sunday.

Knile has to make better decisions. His bad return was brutal last week.

Absolutely.

And unlike Hammond, Davis doesn't have any excuses, as he's been a returner for the last three seasons.

IMO it's a case of not much playing time so he's trying to make some plays.

I don't know, man. He does the same stupid shit when he's in at running back.

Unless there's a clear and concise lane, he just fails.

He has zero vision.
