What's wrong with McClain?

[perrykemp]

What illness does he have?

I assumed Flu but this has been going on for over a week.

The quest to find a durable MLB continues

Garrett said he had concussion like symptoms.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I'm thinking he may have a slight concussion based on the way the trainers were looking at him on the sidelines. But it's all speculation.

It looked extremely humid in the stadium. Growing up in Syracuse and having watched SU football games...when it gets unseasonably warm and a dome is packed....it makes the place like a sauna. All of the Detroit players were sweating profusely and McClain was really sweating as well.

For about 8 games this season Rolando McClain has been awesome. For the other 8 games, he's either been out or had various injuries and ailments.

Not sure what to make of it.

I'd like to chalk it up to being off for a year and half, however, I think it's something the Cowboys need to analyze more before they offer him a big (or medium contract).

FWIW the sideline person said he was dehydrated, which I would suspect would be likely due to the flu which has been epidemic this year.
But it did look like they were checking him for concussion

He played outdoors at ALabama in the early fall. Have you ever been there at that time? It is as bad as Texas, not quite as bad as Florida still.

most likely the FLu,you cant recover in a week to play well in a professional football game.

Especially not with this current strain plaguing Texas.

I live in Orlando. So, I know what heat is like.

And nothing compares to a dome like atmosphere when it gets unseasonably warm and it's packed to the gills. The air in the dome becomes very stagnant (hence, going out to get a 'breathe of fresh air.')

Back when Peyton played at Tennessee, they played at the Carrier Dome and it was an unseasonably warm day and every Tennessee fan that went to that game has told me that was the worst heat they ever watched a game in.

It's a good thing that Hitchens was available to take over at MLB.

Ive never had a flu for a wk, mine tends to linger between 2-3 wks.

Yakuza. . Didn't know your a cny guy. . I Love my cny guys. .. it's tough living here abd dealing with the hate we do. . And your right about the concussion thing

Red said he went home before the game ended.....hmmmm....

wow,thats strange as hell.

 

[Screw The Hall]

Garrett said "concussion like" symptoms.

 

[Danger]

Love Ro-Mac, but I don't think he's durable to last a full season. Always plagues my nagging injuries. I think part of it has to be because he hasn't played football in almost 2 years up until this point.

There have been some players that went nutty after a concussion, but were OK the next day. You don't usually here the details, but it does happen.
