I'm sorry. I have to literally laugh at the notion that height and weight have anything to do with getting concussions. You can't be serious. If you are, wow. If not and your being sarcastic. Ignore this entire post.

u don't think a larger person hitting a smaller person has any effect? just sheer physics would say otherwise

After seeing this pic...no way Lee is 6'2 235lbs. He looks like 5'11...215lbs tops. And people wonder why he gets rocked w/ concussions. There is no way he should continue to play inside LBer. Hell...even our kicker is bigger than him. Pretty sad.:(

Couple of things...

1. It's perspective. Lee is farthest from the camera and not exactly on equal footing. Furthermore he appears smaller because Martin and the woman on the left conceal his arms.

2. Also, most are forgetting that Bailey is not that small. Bailey is 6 foot 200lbs. And the OL are all Giants over 300 lbs. the frame of reference isn't great.

3. Most people also kind of assume 6'2" 235 is bigger than what it actually is. Especially when someone is built mostly of muscle. Lee is not a large guy, but if you met him, you'd know he's really solidly built.


I've never met Lee, but a friend of mine who is a workout fanatic, borderline bodybuilder that is about 5'10" 215 has and has a photo of he and Lee standing side by side. Lee was on crutches, leaning forward and still about half a head taller.

Footwear could have played a role, but no way could it have played that big of a role to where the Lee is only 5'11".

By the way, my friend was kind of blown away by Lee's physical build.

I was just about to post something similar. You would think we'd get to the point where we understand perspective when looking at a photo, but I guess some are still fooled by it. Objects closer to the camera will always appear larger than objects farther away.

I'm saying a 400 pound man can get a concussion as easily as 120 pound man. Size has literally no impact on the amount of concussions one person can get. Tell me. Does my brain hit the wall of my skull harder if I'm 180 pounds or 240? If a 110 pound kid hits me in the head or in the body in thr right way with enough leverage I'm going to be concussed.

Was showing the photo to my wife and talking about perspective when I noticed how much thicker Lee's thighs are than Bailey's, even though Lee is farther from the camera.

OR you could just say Lee looks small compared to the OL

no, but if you are 110 pounds and get hit by a 400 pound man, you are far more likely to end up hitting your head, then the other way around, no?

Pretty sure if a guy who is 400 pounds hits you anywhere something is breaking. Sean Lee isnt a small guy by any means. That is the argument i was making. Blaming his size for his concussions is a joke. He got clipped in the head by Rolando, and then got kicked in the head by Heath. Those were his concussions. Does the size of who hit him have anything to do with him getting concussed?

Bailey is holding his own in the middle of those massive dudes. Didn't realize he was that big.
