I'm calling Amendola out at least 4 weeks...it's his 3rd concussion, NFL trying to be hard ass on this schitt for PR....and, most importantly, it greatly weakens the Pats....
You are right, they won't. The very last thing the NFL wants to do is to tell the independent neurologists what their medical diagnosis ought to be, and then for such directives to be exposed. It would make no sense for the NFL to do that. Believing they would is paranoia.Concussion protocol is standard. How do you think the NFL is going to subvert it in the case of Patriots players?

How? Because a team doctor and "independent neurological consultant", whom I'm sure is 100% on the up and up with no ties whatsoever, personal or otherwise, to the NY Giants, The Rooneys, or Goodell, must clear the player before he can return to practice...did you see the hit where Amendola was taken out of the game? It seemed very benign to me....Concussion protocol is standard. How do you think the NFL is going to subvert it in the case of Patriots players?
Maybe, although that's not usually how Belichick plays it. No practice almost always means no play.Even though Wednesday is typically an important day because it's installation day, I wouldn't necessarily rule out either because both know their respective systems pretty well, so a simple walk-through of the gameplan would be good enough for them.

So looks like it's gonna be Hogan, Cooks, Dorsett, SLATER and no 5th wr for the foreseeable future. No one in that group is a third down security blanket for Brady....I remember one year the Pats were so banged up at receiver they had to sign and activate the corpse of Henry Ellard...I'm afraid this season is headed that way
The fix is in.Here are the steps of the NFL's concussion protocol
So, to repeat:
Concussion protocol is standard. How do you think the NFL is going to subvert it in the case of Patriots players?
I don't think the game on Sunday will be a Hightower game. Probably more of the terrible Jordan Richard playing hybrid LB. We will miss Danny though.
His coverage has got to be at least as good as Richards'.IDK. Geneo Grissom was reportedly working out with the safeties before practice today. Are the Pats about to unleash a new "Garganutan Nickel" package on the league?
