I agree, it strikes me as "sabre rattling" by the physician who is the Medical Director of the Union - basically laying the smack down that if Hamlin wants to play the teams had better not categorically rule him out As far as guarantee? There's an edge in in lung capacity, reaction time, strength, memory, mental pattern recognition, etc between an elite athlete and a good athlete At this point, 6 weeks out, it would be great (but surprising) if Damar is even doing a full S&C workout and aerobics, trying to build himself back up to what he was. I doubt he knows where he is yet, with the above.

The overall CPR success rate - in hospital or out - is around 10%. Out of hospital may be lower - 9% most recent figure I saw. Damned straight it's not like the movies. I'm concerned, presented like that these facts might discourage people from learning CPR and performing CPR on a loved one. So a couple of contextual points: -Those survival stats include CPR performed in skilled nursing facilities and rehab facilities (both considered out of hospital cardiac arrest), but skewed towards elders who are the least likely to survive -They also include cases where CPR is initiated only when medical professionals (EMTs or paramedics) arrive. Only 46% of cardiac arrests receive bystander CPR. Part of that is because 70% of cardiac arrests occur at home - many with someone living alone, or with someone who is not trained in CPR Data vary, but indicate that effective CPR initiated within 2 minutes can double or triple the chance of survival. I'd take a 27% or 30% chance for my family or friends, over a 9% chance. PSA: Learn CPR. Don't expect it to be like the movies. You may break ribs. The person may throw up, and you have to roll them to the side and wipe out their mouth and keep going. But I'll take 20% or 30% over 10%.

I think it's a statistic that's a bit misleading, since I believe it includes CPR conducted at rehabilitation facilities and skilled nursing facilities (both considered "out of hospital"). I believe it also includes CPR initiated after an unwitnessed arrest or when EMS arrives (usually >2 minutes post arrest) The issue I was writing about isn't heartbreak, the issue is organizational impact. Nice shift.

It does explain in part why Terry reportedly called the UC Hospital and told them he would pay for any care that was needed, above what insurance considers usual.

They may not have known the details of her condition, but the entire staff and coaches and returning players had to know that a key driver in the organization was gone for medical reasons for an indefinite time.

Wishing your mom continued recovery

I had that same thought, because of course the Bills leadership team needed to know what was going on to adjust expectations as far as roles and responsibilities and decision making. Especially at first, I would imagine Terry was reluctant to make the decision that Kim is out of the picture for good. Very different organization these days than before the Pegulas took over, when it seemed like every bit of laundry inside the building got taken out and aired in the press immediately.

I think you're missing the point that Kim was not "a parent" or "a grandmother". She was the hands-on president as well as owner, in the building every day, in meetings, a driver of the organization, a decision maker. Take someone like that out of the organizational picture and it definitely leaves a void, because you don't necessarily even realize what they're doing until they stop doing it. So glad your wife is OK and all the best to you and her going forward.

I reluctantly have to agree with @DrPJax here (not reluctant to agree with him per se, but when someone is happy with their medical care reluctant to criticize it). But if someone else here has a loved one in that situation - yes, that should require professional monitoring while the BP is brought under control, and the severe headache should have received more follow-up tests to ensure no bleed etc. To @Gugny Thank God you did well and may you continue healthy and happy.

Article said she is home now

Apparently, OP is not better than this

Solid post. Yeah, whether one thinks Salgado deserved firing and hiring Danna is a good thing, this is NOT about scapegoating, for exactly the reasons you mention.

He has said that golf is his favorite thing to do and if he could, he'd play every day. On the other hand, he's also said that he loves playing football. Still, I think it's a serious question especially if he keeps getting the ***** beaten out of him, playing through injury, and feeling like he has to carry the team. That's fundamentally what wore down Andrew Luck and lead to his early retirement, I think.

So Cover 1 has a bunch of interesting stuff about this hire, starting out with the point that we need someone coaching up young safeties. But goes into some interesting ways that offenses started reading the Bills defensive coverages pre snap and why someone who can integrate safeties and the nickel role to disguise

I think you need to raise your standards for a player worth sweeping things under the rug for, at least to 2016-2017 McCoy. Hold out for 1600 yards from scrimmage, MINIMUM. Here's an idea. He and Singletary have the same number of Y/Touch. Singletary has 55 fewer touches, 80% of the touches Mixon got. So couldn't we just keep Singletary, give him more touches, and get 1373 all-purpose yds instead without "living on the edge" that the payoffs won't work this time?

Au Contraire, mon vieux, barring future incidents where the victim does not "settle privately", he will be there on opening day as though nothing at all occurred.

This reads a lot like "the payment came through" I think the above should read "it isn't clear if she has recanted that claim AFTER a private settlement was worked out between the parties" I wonder how many of these incidents get swept under the rug because a "private settlement is worked out between the parties" before charges get filed. Where's that Bengals fan @Caesar to tell us that Joe Mixon is a sober and godly youth who is kind to kittens and carries the groceries for little old ladies in between church services?

Apparently so. Yes. Yes, they did.

I'm not sure who exactly besides Taron Johnson gots coached by the "Nickel coach". Siran Neal? Cam Lewis? Someone on the practice squad? The Bills had no "Nickel coach" in 2022. Salgado became "Nickel" coach in 2020 after being a "Defensive Assistant" for several years. Taron came into the league in 2018, and took about 60% of the snaps in 2018 and 2019, rising to 77% in 2020. Did Salgado "develop him" or, was it a "cream rises to the top" situation? Salgado became safeties coach in 2022 after Bob Babich retired and Bobby Babich switched from Safeties to LB coach. Veterans Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer probably need coaching about like dogs need fleas. But when injuries strike and we have to play backups - that's when the coaching really matters. Was Salgado a scapegoat, or did he fail to teach and drill the young guys in the scheme? Because if a player is in the right place, and gets beaten by a better player, that's probably not on the coach. But if the player is not in the right place and a scheme which depends a lot upon deception and after-the-snap adjustments has to be simplified to the point where it's pretty vanilla, then maybe the coaching has a role. And that latter appears to be what we were dealing with. The normal McDermott MO with a long term staff member would be to quietly let him seek another position and leave, then hire someone else. The fact that Salgado was quickly and publicly fired, says to me that when the issue of the young safeties scheme mistakes was brought up, maybe Salgado didn't show the "growth mindset" but instead pretty much said what you've said above - "look at everything I've dealt with at that position, no one could have succeeded". Well, Safety is going to be a critical position for us next year because who knows if we'll have 1, 2, 3, or 0 experienced safeties on the field by the 2nd week of the season. So "look at everything I've dealt with" isn't going to cut it.

Yes

Interesting. Who are these 31 backs who are better? Sure, there are teams who have 2 backs who are better. I'm interested in the other teams that have 1 back that is better or just as good Some Motor stats: Total yards 26th Attempts 30th 20th in Y/A 57th in fumbles with 3 Hard to find stats on this but Singletary is excellent in pass protection
