Clausen got concussion


Jpjr

Recommended Posts

Had to be from that second QB sneak.

Listed as day to day.

Steve Smith was right on the money if that's how it happened.

Clausen got hit in the head twice on that play...2nd one was malicious. i was glad to Smith go after they guy. Great to see he got fired up about the QB. Might do the team some good.

Hope they do nto bring Clausen back too fast like they did with Matt. Also hope the Bucs player gets a suspension.

as much of a douche as talib is, i put more blame on the play caller than anyone on the field. one QB sneak was ok...if it doesn't work, try something else. a second one is not only predictable, it's putting the QB at greater risk for injury.

fox/davidson have themselves to blame for this predicament.

I got no problem w/ Smitty going after Talib.

that said, Clausen wasn't a defenseless reciever. He was essentially a running back trying to gain yardage to get into the endzone.

Talib had time after clausen was stopped to run halfway across the field and spear him. It's not a defenseless receiver, it was just unnecessary roughness, AND a late hit. Either could have been called.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
