  • He sure looked dizzy...and that was dumb by ward.  Make sure the fans know your name...not the medical staff

    FWIW, ward is for sure concussed again in the 4th quarter of a meaningless game for all intents and purposes.

    I really hope this isnt the start of something.

    Yeah but what if that one makes him decide to retire. I love the kid but i rather him get a concussion now if he decides to retire than in week 1 next year and he decide to retire. We know CB is an issue if he does and even if he comes back depth is a concern. Like i said love him he's probably my favorite defensive player on the team but he needs to practice rugby style tackling if he is going to keep playing and if he hangs it up due to concussions I don't blame him.

    How may ccs does he have?  He doesnt strike me as the retiring type.  I think you need a xanax.  Your jumpin the gun.  Don Beebe is still alive...relax

    I thought this was his third this year. But here he says that last one was his first

    As far as the Xanax comment. When you are under 25 like he is your brain is still developing and one concussion is bad but having another on the first shot to your head after sitting out for two weeks due to a concussion is absolutely awful and scary. He's a smart kid and already has enough wealth don't be surprised if he doesn't really consider retirement.

  • The more Baker plays the better off this team will be.  He needs to gain experience as a QB and with the talent on the field with him.  The only reason I would have given him the week off is if the team had won the division.  Weighing injury vs. experience I would prefer the experience.  He appears to be getting better each week.

    As for Ward, sitting him if he is not 100% post concussion would be in the best interest of all parties.

  • I wouldnt let Ward back on to the field until he knows how to properly tackle and protect himself...

  • And what was wrong with the tackle?

    I'm going to go with I told you so. The hit did not even involve his head. His head just snapped to the side and that was enough.

    all i thought was that there was no reason why Randell did not wrap up and make the tackle

  • The head snap did it. 

    Love the toughness but Ward shouldn't have been out there today. 

  • There probably is no choice with Ward next week

  • PLain Dealer is reporting Wards injury was a shoulder.

    Yep. I think he took a forearm to the chin or a shoulder. Head snapped back and goodnight. I'm officially worried. Why he continues to go high, I don't know.

    Not that I'm HAPPY if it's a shoulder, but I certainly don't want another concussion. 

  • Is he another haden?  Can't stay on the field.

    I'd be shocked, but very happy if that was the case. He looked like he was counting to potato after that hit in the face

    Well I certainly hope it isn't protocol again because that would be three times right? One more could spell the end of the career.
