Piakura's Time on the Field

[Brocko]

I think at minimum he needs to sit out the rest of the year. Way too many head knocks this year.

and last year

 

[BroncsFan]

Maybe I am completely mistaken in how they work, but why is he not wearing headgear?

Headgear does nothing.

Concussions are caused by the brain moving in the skull ... no amount of headgear can stop the head from whiplashing around

Headgear does nothing.

Concussions are caused by the brain moving within the skull ... no amount of headgear can stop the head from whiplashing around

ik the nfl has a thing called guardian caps which is like excess padding, that does something to prevent head trauma, maybe should try something like that

What about the Brent Tate neck brace?

I'm guessing the guardian caps and Jurbo's headgear is about trying to incorporate some sort of shock absorption into the headgear.

I daresay Piaks next step will be chucking on the Jurbo headgear.

 

[BroncsFan]

What about the Brent Tate neck brace?

No idea... Tate suffered a serious neck injury, but no idea if that brace can do anything about concussions.

 

[Brocko]

The study thing on Jurbo's headgear I believe said the shapes of the 'bubbles/pods' were to try and remove some of the force, but not sure its actually been proven at all to work as they claimed.

 

[Super Freak]

Might do something to prevent whiplash, but it's not going to stop the brain from ping-ponging inside the head.

 

[Nashy]

They should be force retiring some of these players.

 

[theshed]

Scrambles needs to be forced into retirement. Bit of player welfare. Take it out of his hands.

I’m all for nicknames and dark humour but “Scrambles” seems distasteful.

Would be good to stop trying to make that a thing

 

[BooKhaki]

I think his time is about done. He needs to look at long term health, the club needs to look at a player who can stay on the field.

oh come on, don't be so precious.

Last night just looked like a regular tackle . Head in the right place .(He regularly puts his head on the wrong side and gets hit in the head) Got a solid bump to the temple/ ear and went limp .
His team mates man handling him when he was not responding needs addressing . He could well have had a spine injury . Leave that to trained pros .

 

[Sproj]

Maybe he's being precious but nope, I'm not on board with it either. You might be on your own with this one.

 

[Bucking Beads]

We couldn't possibly be re-signing him given his constant number of Concussions. He is just not durable enough to demand the big contract he will get elsehwere,
