I am calling it for concussions only because for other player injuries, the player makes a choice whether to sit out. Brett Favre played practically on a broken ankle against the saints. I never said take out the other teams qb. I said that the defender causing the concussion should sit out for as long as the qb he knocked out is in protocol. |

Sideline concussion assessment is a medical tool, with medical standards. It is conservative for a reason, and this applies to multiple sports It is better to sit someone without a concussion than to allow a player to return with one, so the test is designed to capture all concussions (True positives) at the risk of also having some test positive without a concussion (false positive). If you aim to reduce the number of false positives you begin to create false negatives. |

Once again what would stop those same defenses from sending bottom of the roster guys to **** up the already concussed QB further? If Mahomes is slow to get up and people realize it's a head injury and he gets let back in, why would the defense which you keep presuming is playing dirty target mahomes' head specifically knowing it will not only **** him up for the current game but for future games as well? |

And how are hitting players high/targeting not already discouraged? |

This sounds like a rule neighborhood kids would make up for backyard football games.

The Tonya harding solution is a real threat in sports. It's not like the idea of removing aggressors is unusual. College more aggressively enforces targeting, and I'm not suggesting that. Hockey and soccer, more reasonably, do a much better job of consistent enforcement. |

There's no evidence this was targeting or dirty play. There's no evidence Wentz going out changed the outcome of this game. Seattle comfortably won the prior encounter and were the favorite in Vegas. There's no evidence that Clowney being ejected would have changed the outcome at all either. There's no evidence that Wentz disagreed with the medical assessment of him. When was the last time any suspected targeting of a QB occurred? If you genuinely think this kind of dirty play is a real concern, I assume you support moving to flag football for the quarterback only, and any tackle of the QB that is not grabbing a flag is met by immediate ejection? Its a better idea than letting people with head trauma decide whether it is their best interests to put themselves in more physical danger. |

I am not talking about this being a proven problem. I'm talking about how the Philly game exposed that the risk is there. And the impact is huge. If teams are willing to risk scandal by taping signals for tiny advantages, you don't think they're scheming up ways to exploit a big loophole like this? I am not supporting arbitrarily targeting ejections on plays where the player goes back in. I'm talking about removing the defensive player as long as the offensive player is in concussion protocol. Again, I don't know if it's the solution. But it's at least an idea. |

Don't forget about Kelce at the beginning of the Titans game. Another cheap shot.

The concussion protocol made it much much easier to knock a player out of a game. Sure, targeting penalties have made it harder to pull off. But it has not eliminated the loophole. If the right hit is pulled off the defense advantage is tremendous.
