Late addition so doubtful he plays this week. Optimistic Fan Club said in his post game show that he was concussed from that hit in Q1.

No need to let Sanders throw 30 times

He did run the offense under center last year under Stefanski, right?


I don't know the percentage. But I don't think we'll see major changes in this game that Sanders has to play in. And I'd assume that Watson will be going right back in when he's cleared to play. Unless Sanders really lights things up. Which is what he'll probably be hoping/trying to do. It's his only hope.

He did run the offense under center last year under Stefanski, right?

I'm surprised they can tell the difference.... Concussions are serious injuries - I remember they made a different kind of helmet for Larry Csonka back in the day. I wonder what ever happened with developing a helmet that would try to not let that happen, if possible.


They're trying stuff, like that bonnet over the helmet that some players wear, including JOK when he got injured. Over the years the whole shape of the helmet has been changed to try and combat head injuries. I mean, aside from making the helmet the size of a beach ball, how much can you do?

So Sanders is going to have to work his ass off with those starting receivers. We need this win.
