Leroux should be retained on the PR, Benson is inches away from the end of his career. Give him a final shot at a GC at home, then a thank-you card for service provided. wbbfan 1

I think it was Cadwallader who took over for him in first game, he was solid, I'd continue with that. Maybe even teach a guy like MCI to do it. rebusrankin 1

Noeller Posted June 25 Author Report Posted June 25 Not sure if this has been mentioned but it looks like Trevor Harris is already dinged. Missed back to back practices and Mace now confirming concussion concerns as the cause (sorry for the alliteration...) HardCoreBlue and rebusrankin 2

You’re never just fine shortly after a concussion. And even if you don’t feel wonky, you are at serious risk. Diagnosed concussion should be an automatic week off. Don’t want to see his career end on a concussion. Not if it’s preventable. HardCoreBlue, rebusrankin, Jesse and 2 others 1 4
TBURGESS Posted June 25 Report Posted June 25 Harris missed the 2nd practice of the week and wasn't even seen on the sidelines. If Maier starts, a lot of folks are going to change their pick this week. M.O.A.B., bigg jay, Noeller and 2 others 4 1

Think Mace is a but dense...Prety sure it happened on that play where he got drilled and cranked his punchable head hard on the ground as it snapped back from the impact...and they let him continue to play...me and my buddy saw that right away 12 minutes ago, wbbfan said: You’re never just fine shortly after a concussion.

ShyGuy Posted June 25 Report Posted June 25 If Harris plays having your 3 most visible players (Milligan, Ouellette and Harris) get concussions and play the next week almost seems to be verging on Coaching/Training Staff malpractice. Tracker, Booch, wbbfan and 2 others 1 4

The reality is players that get knocked out cold in the CFL often play again the very next week, pretty sure that's not enough time for proper recovery, but the league, the players and the CFLPA play along as if it is.

Unfortunately as the science evolves, it seems in more and more cases recovery may not be an option, more of how to cope as best you can. Ask Matt Dunnigan.

In this day and age, knowing what we know about concussions in football, I would put a mandatory 10 day evaluation period if I were the commish. It would suck, but player safety has to be paramount. Especially for guys with concussion histories. At any rate, we all thought Harris was fragile, and we were all right. Edited June 26 by GCn20 wbbfan 1
