Week 6 Washington Redskins vs Minnesota Vikings Pregame Thread

I get that, but how long do you sit him out? What does sitting him out a week do? If you don't play him until the Giants game on the 21st and he gets a concussion then, would it be any better than playing him this weekend and he doesn't get one?

There is no rite answer to that. Its a judgement call. Again im not saying i would be for the cautious (which is not another word for stupid) and not play him but sure a week cant hurt. Yea i think the quicker the time frame between concussions absolutely definitely the worse.

edit: - he might not get one this week is obvious, but he is at more of a risk, where is in two weeks after more healing of the brain he would be closer to if not fully to where he was before this ever happened. It is not that complicated that I need to be a neurologist - brain, ankle, shoulder - whatever the body part, obviously the more time it has to heal the more back to normal and the more out of risk said body part will be vulnerable to another injury.

Earlier in the week Accuscore actually had this game as a tie with both teams scoring 23.6 points now it shows 24.1 to 23.5, not sure what changed it.

and stealing from ESPN's intel page:

@NOR(1-4).......W 40-32

I got concussed reading this thread i started about the game. Doctors have cleared me to post after this one immediately. Although the Warpath has me out 3-4 weeks.

I think some of the people here handled Deon Sanders turf toe, and Landrys ankle.

bitte schön

Bottom line is - RG-3 wilst spiele fussball this weekend and I hope he doesnt bangen his noggin again.

I think I'm suffering from a concussion watching this thread. Just now, Matty asked me which page we were on and I couldn't tell him.

Yeah but he's at more of a risk playing in two weeks, vs three; three weeks vs four, etc.

Anyway, he was fine in practice today so he'll probably play on Sunday. I'm actually more interested in seeing if they make Rex the #2 QB this weekend. Though I suspect they'll stick with Cousins

You actually started it about the game and hoping RG-3 would play this weekend with a link to the article about his concussion. Did you think that was not going to lead to talk about his concussion?

Though I suspect they'll stick with Cousinsi say roll w cousins. the more time he spends on the field, the more he can improve. the more time rex spends on the field, well, we know how that goes.

I can imagine the response would be something like

"Another sign of arrogance on the part of Mike Shanahan. Doctors, who trained to do this, cleared RG3 to play. But because Shanahan's trying to prove that he can coach anyone (John Beck anyone? smh) and still win he sat RG3 down. Typical Mike Shanahan thinking of only what makes him look good."

That literally made me laugh out load SS.

and sadly we all know this to be true..... http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon14.gif

I was going to ask who was getting more snaps this week Cousins or Rex - being up hear in Jersey it aint exactly front page news. Im hoping for Rex, just in case RG3 doesnt play. Did I just say that?

edit: if the season were over I would want Cousins on the field, but I believe rite now Rex would give us the better chance to win. Obviously knows the offense better than Cousins and has the experience.
