ball way too lightly because he didn't notice the LB trying to recover. The LB was still in no position to defend had it been a better pass, and it's certainly not of the question to think the foot injury contributed to it being underthrown.

I was surprised by the Taysom tidbit regarding his injury last year

This is totally different from RN

Also, RN's injury wasn't a huge deal eaither.......

Painful, but not dangerous. His ribs, lung & shoulder were more debilitating.

It's probably fair to note, however, that RN's own father (who is a Doctor) determined

It always seemed really suspect to me, too, but I'm not a doctor so I don't know.

Also different is Taysom came out when he was ineffective and unable to go. Also

At least with Taysom, it doesn't sound like safety was an issue.

And once he became a liability on the field they pulled him and put in Tanner

Taysom's injury could not get medically worse.

You bring up a valid point. Taysom doesn't get called selfish for continuing to

I doubt the injury had anything to do with the pick

It was the safety; he pretended to bite on the PA, then dropped back quickly

Coop

He was still way out of position to make a play had it been a better pass.

No, no, no, no

I didn't mention Riley at all. Perhaps you're a little sensitive.

You replied to a post that did mention Riley comparing his injury with Taysom's

It's been part of Staley's questions as well

Staley just sounds bitter. Takes no blame for his own decisions.

I don't fault Nelson for playing hurt.

I fault the coaches for EVER playing him in the first place.

Players on the team at the time would tell you he earned it in practice.

6/30/16 12:14pm

I agree. They never ask "Are you injured?" its always "Can you go?"

Exactly. You should never fault a player for wanting to compete

Did Taysom lie to the coaches about the severity of his injury?
