On the topic of Luke and concussions...

I just thought I'd let you know about the new "Alex Smith" regulation.

Teams are required to just specify someone is in concussion protocol, if an event like that were to occur. 

They cannot comment on whether the person is actually concussed or not.

Basically it started when the Chiefs kept saying Smith has a concussion, when all that happened was them being extra causious and him not actually having a concussion

This led to said memo below:

http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/the-nfl-is-reportedly-telling-teams-not-to-comment-publicly-on-concussions/

Quote

The memo, sent from Troy Vincent, the league's VP of football operations, specifically instructed teams to "refrain from making public comments regarding the condition of a concussed player or speculating as to when he may return to practice and play once in the concussion protocol."

This gives hope for the theory that he is fine, as seen by TD's IG post recently. Of course, the latter may be true.

What this solidifies is that we won't know how Luke is doing until we get practice reports. Panthers will most likely not comment on anything relating to his concussion much because of this.

Just thought I'd let you guys know. 

My regular articles will resume Sunday.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
