If anything, the television softens the blow compared to at field level.

Yeah, but at the field level, I am guess you can't see the hit to Schaub unless you happened to be looking not at where the ball is.

Best thing for bobos are cartoon bandages. Maybe a Care Bear bandage would be a good one as we are in need of some sunshine. I am guessing Ahman goes for the Batman bandage.

Then I would have my whole defense start jumping on him and congratulating him, almost as if our defense had gotten an interception or recovered a fumble. Mass celebration: chest bumping and high fives all around. Probably would have resulted in an ejection, but nobody would have missed that message, I can tell you that.

Nah, I want Kalu to go to middle of the field, reach straight up like he is going for a microphone and shout "Mister Kennedy!" Then he repeats it while Mario stands to one side and looks angry (of course someone will have to help him with that) and says "DAMN!" Our line backers will rip off their jerseys and do various muscle poses and kiss their "pythons". The rest of the defense will shake their fingers at San Diego and tell them just how they will rip their head off at the next pay for view.

Man this team should have gone nuts when that play put Schaub down. I think Mario has been named as their "team anger management captain".

It could also be that our medical staff is so incompetent that they just don't know (no references needed).

[TEXANRED]

Green said this morning on 610 that if a player suffers a concussion then it is mandatory that the player sit out the following week as a precaution.

So if he suffered a concussion then he is out, which would explain why they are being a bit evasive about the injury just encase they want to start Schaub.

To be able to pay back a team for a late hit on our QB, we would have to be able to get to their QB. So far "we ain't" getting there.

Don't you really think that the nature and seriousness of the injury Schaub or any player suffers is diagnosed and reported to the league office by medical people and not the coaching staff ?

Just as a point of reference, Tom Brady been "probable" for about three years now.

As in probable to destroy the opposing team and shove it in their face.

Exactly. I am not worried about the team making injuries known No reason to help the other team out because they do the same damn thing.

I guess Kubiak needs to stop trying to be deceptive and hand over the play book and the injury report to opposing teams.

With that said I just hope the medical staff has a clue whats going on because of with Boselli and DD it seems they may not really have graduated from a medical school here in the US.

i will say this sage learned the lession watching schaub take 2 steps toward the pick and get cheap shotted.

after sage threw a pick they showed the replay and he took off away from the pick so he wasnt a target.

Yes I do think that its medical people that report to the league office. The very same medical people who has there checks signed by the Texans.

The reason Kubiak doesn't want to use the term concussion is because some people these days are trying to say guys with concussions should get out of the game, meaning if you get a couple, you're going to get more & ruin yourself if you stay playing, kind of like the stuff they say about boxers. Does anyone know what I'm referring to?

[Hooston Texan]

On the excuse that the Texans didn't know it was a cheapshot because they didn't see it--

Maybe the guys on the field didn't see the hit, but the guys in the booth had to have. If I'm the coaches and my team is trailing 35-3 at the half and looking lifeless, I'm playing the tape of the hit on an endless loop during halftime. Challenge those marshmellows to grow a spine. That the Chargers were allowed to walk away with their ACLs intact is an unmistakable message to the entire league: we don't care if you cheapshot our team.

And I'm not giving points to Kalu for his words. Talk is cheap. "I would have torn someone up if I had seen it, but I didn't see it" is the coward's mantra.
