Wasn't his concussion from a car accident? Not like he has a football injury history


What is the difference from a concussion from a car accident or getting a concussion in a football game?

Your brain is still rattled!

Let me take this one, Cinco.


Ahem, from years of watching various TV medical dramas, especially the ones with self-important, young, Starbucks-sipping, beautiful medical personnel, it looks -- and having X-rays would really help -- as a car concussion is really the worst.

For two reasons. The cerebellum medulla centroplex can become unwired by tremendous force from, say, a 5,000-lb. vehicle or, if others, involved, to a human body. Also, there is the problem of gasoline and oil seeping into the ear.

In a football field concussion the player is subject to a sudden but less forceful impact to the aforementioned cerebullem antebellum medulla mandela.

Therefore the player faces less danger of reoccurrence or noggin bleeding.

If I may refer and cross-reference Ben Casey episode 37 (1961) and ER episode 15 (2001) when Dr. Giles was morose about his millions that got in the way of helping humanity in New York, those two shows show the tremendous and more perilous effect of car concussions.

I think we may safely conclude (and I believe the Medical Association and the Herbalife people would back me up on this) that the player should go into coaching or some other job that in reality really does not affect humanity.

Any medical or hydraulic or broadcasting questions come up, don't hestitate and stuff.

And let me say that we all love Abersonc but he should come in for blood work and tests to see if his cerebellum medusa Cerebrium gortex is rattled.

I dont understand he is old argument. He may be 35 and had some concussion issues last year, but he will come cheap and this will be a huge addition to this team.

Gee, how did I miss that GREAT thing about Zack, about being a huge addition to this team? He will come cheap!!!
Now I am sold!
:bow:

What a tribute to Zach.

I'm with the naysayers here. He's old, injury prone, and has lost a step. Great mover otherwise................

Beat up.
Expensive.

No thanks.

I wish everyone could re-watch the Miami/Dallas game in September. If healthy, he's still a hell of a playmaker. He shut down Witten almost single handedly from the Mike position - an awesome feat. Here he would play WLB - Akin's spot. The move makes sense. Akin was not productive. He missed tackles or got lost in traffic routinely because, I believe, standup weakside linebacker is not his natural instinctive position.
Thomas would make a ton of tackles that Akin didn't. He also allows Burnett to play his role on Nickel and Dime packages.

He is undersized as well, which is something he can overcome as a young player, but this becomes more of a detriment as he slows with age. Coakley is one example of this.

Galloway just said Thomas was coming in this week. Maybe he got the time frame wrong, but still...

Just get him alone and give him the patented LaRoi Glover-style "You're not leaving this room without a contract" talk, Jerry!

Unless Belicheat sells him first, I think this gets done. I really do. Pretty clear what Wade thinks of the player.

Belicheat probably has pictures...so, he goes to the Pats!
