2 things, chase and diggs are the same. Higgins was taken 33. We could have and passed on WRs in late rd 1, which is close to top of rd2 talent. Perhaps you don't understand development and training, Daboll and Dorsey have overlapped with the Bills, part of being a leader is developing those under you and ensuring that as people leave, you can hit the ground running. Especially with Daboll interviewing what 2 seasons before he finally left, there needed to be more done to grow Dorsey during that time. How can I make this statement, what is our scheme on offense? How did any creative plays daboll have not get called? How were new ones not developed? A new OC, does not necessitate a scheme change depending on who you hire. The skillset you are looking for is someone who can design plays to the strengths of your team, understands how to build off of formations and add new wrinkles and understands gameflow. Dorsey struggled with this all season long, what other resources does this team have to help better develop him? More time with Mike Shula? It's ok to be critical. Are you willing to go another season of Josh and DIggs (at age 30) under an OC who had 66% of his plays defended against in the most important home playoff game in 30 years? I'm critical of this.... FWIW, I don't think this is likely at all, but I do think Reich would do wonders for this team offensively...

The salary cap and contracts we have dictate this. In retrospect, last year we perhaps did not take a critical enough look. While I'm not quite there yet, the - is McD a Shottenheimer picture? is starting to be painted. Looking at trends, in the playoffs and in the must win games, we become very, very, conservative. The Bengals game makes me hesitant to say we weren't aggressive enough on the 4th downs, in the end we would have been blown out sooner. Let's be honest, we were very unlikely to make those plays, moving the ball was a struggle the entire game. I understand conservatism at that point and hope the d could force a turnover. When there are times to be agressive on defense, we tend to lay back and keep it all in front of us. The scheme like it or not is Sean's, not Frazier's. Changing the DC out won't force a scheme change unless that is what McD wants. I hoped that his work under Johnson in Philly, would have ingrained an aggressive nature to be leaned upon at times, but it certainly wasn't in the playoffs. With someone who focuses on every detail, McD certainly had to sign off and agree on the gameplans throughout the week. The picture being painted does start to look like one who is statistically strong in the regular season, but doesn't fully grasp playoff football and how to get a team over the top. Look at the teams remaining this year and last year, they are agressive and dictate. The players Beane has been drafting is to fit the profile of our scheme and what Sean wants in a player. While a strong and tightly knit HC and GM relationship is important, the GM has the responsibility to save the coach from himself. This, at a first glance, feels like a GM who hasn't been looking ahead and working with the HC to answer tougher questions last offseason to get ahead of this. Where we are with the cap now. Forces us to run this back for a year or 2 until you can get out of contracts. How do we search for the RBs that we have to have and they are not used? The contingency plan at WR was Brown and Beasley, this wasn't a concern at the trade deadline or did they already know this flaw could not be fixed? I'm also very on edge about OC, while Dorsey may turnout to be good, do we have time to allow him to grow and learn on the job more? Can that be afforded? What resources does the team have to help him grow? Where does this fit into what we have been fed with the, we have a program and we develop and promote from within? Beane is usually very forthcoming, not so much today imo...

As much as everyone dogged on him, he was correct on quite a few things. Speaking generally, some fans don't want to take critical looks and prefer to only see the sunshine

This is a big one

The population size is small and that makes it really difficult to gleam much insight from. Working in the manufacturing and R&D of medical device field for 20+ years - you are correct in regards to that trial size. The force of the collisions you will experience in today's NFL (Bigger, faster, stronger than ever before) from people who also have "armor" also has to factor into it. He may have more armor to absorb, but tHiggins also has more armor than your average 20yr old as well. I'm not a physicist, to be able to accurately calculate the force, nor am I a physician or A&P professor who may have the information as to how much force is necessary during a blunt trama event to the chest to distrupt his T wave at that exact moment either. I would expect that this would be a more violent collision than 16 or 20 yr olds who are not playing NFL Football. For all we know, the force of the collision could have been the same as a line drive to an unprotected chest. CC is most likely what occured - IIRC, he was hit in the chest... In any event, this is just awful and I hope for a good chance of recovery for him

I hope the progress continues. The real progress is over the next day or 2 as they begin to wake him up and it is up to his body to control and maintain the vitals. THis is a small step forward so far....here's to hoping that it continues over the next couple days 🍺🍻

it was a retweet from a reporter from the Athletic, who everyone basically involved in the NFL (Eisen, Banner, Trask, Rappaport, Breer, Pro Football Doc, etc. also follows. So this "misguided" "some study" is tied to him, she simply retweeted it with one stat.

The most recent 6 years, survival from commotio cordis was 31 of 53 (58%), with survivor and nonsurvivor curves ultimately crossing. Higher survival rates were associated with more prompt resuscitation (40%<3 minutes vs 5%>3 minutes; P<.001) and participation in competitive sports (39%; P<.001), but with lower rates in African Americans (1 of 24; 4%) than in whites (54 of 166; 33%; P = .004). The survival rates of resuscitation (40% if under 3 minutes which drops to 5% over 3 minutes is concerning. Even with the AED on the field, there have been reports of the medical staff beating on his chest - I assume that's how the efforts began - how long until the had the AED there and his gear off to be able to use the device? Less than 3 minutes or more than? The difference in survival rates between the races is significant - a 4% survival rate for African Americans is very very concerning as well. As is the 2nd resuscitation at the hospital. I wonder how frequently more than one resuscitation occurred in these cases

WTF it is not my article, just because I post a tweet does not make everything contained with in it mine. I am not the defender of the tweet (I didn't tweet it or find the information in the first place), the only thing I am defending on here, if you will, is people running with an assumption that isn't even in the post. I mean if you are going to comment on something at least read it and be factual with it...FFS

Without looking into all of those 69 cases - who knows? The second resuscitation at the hospital is very worrisome along with how much time did his brain go without oxygen

Ages ranged from 1 to 38 (mean 12) with 70% < 16 years old not all were kids... She retweeted it from Dan Kaplan who is a writer for The Athletic, who is followed by every Farrar, Rappaport, Jim Nagy, Dr. Chao, Amy Trask, Joe Banner, Breer, Pete Prisco, Shcefter, Peter King, Rich Eisen etc... and added the part of the study that showed the mortality rate of the 69 people included in the study

Your assumption is that "That 10% survival is incredibly misleading because of the delay of medical attention and AED equipment in most cases". I'm not trying to be a jerk, but to make a statement like that, should insinuate that you looked at those 34 organized competitive events to back up the statement that you tossed out there: Stats are stats and depending on how you want to look at them - can paint a different picture. The facts are: 1.) "To better characterize the clinical profile of this syndrome we have now assembled 69 well-characterized cases, including 34 occurring during organized competitive athletics" 2.) In the study of the 69 well-characterized cases, only 7 of the 69 survived, that is a fact. 3.) It is also a fact that 5 of the 7 survivors cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystanders was particularly prompt (² 1 minute). Now to what we don't know - 1.) How many minutes before they started? 2.) How many minutes of actual resuscitation occurred? 3.) We also have to factor in that he had to be resuscitated a second time at the hospital how frequently did this occur? I suppose your assumptions could be answered further in the study itself and can be presented as facts, but without looking for the full study and to dissect the entire paper, they are assumptions that are not factually suppported

Look because I post something, doesn't mean I am doing all the homework for everyone - click the link and read the abstract... https://nocsae.org/research-grant-program/research-grants-by-year/the-national-commotio-cordis-registry/ It also doesn't make me an expert or that I am attempting to push any narrative...

you doubt VERY much, but yet didn't even care to read... To better characterize the clinical profile of this syndrome we have now assembled 69 well-characterized cases, including 34 occurring during organized competitive athletics Seven of the 69 commotio cordis victim’s (10%) survived their cardiac arrest; in 5 of these 7 survivors cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystanders was particularly prompt (² 1 minute). I can't even imagine what he is going through...

How do you know that in the other 90% of the cases there was a delay of medical attention and AED in those cases?

To better characterize the clinical profile of this syndrome we have now assembled 69 well-characterized cases, including 34 occurring during organized competitive athletics and 35 that occurred during informal recreational sports at home, school or the playground or during other non-sporting activities. Ages ranged from 1 to 38 (mean 12) with 70% < 16 years old. The most common sports involved were youth baseball (n=39), softball (n=7), and ice hockey (n=7), but with 3 each in football and soccer and 2 each in karate and rugby. Chest blows were produced in 52 (75%) by a projectile that was part of the game itself such as baseballs or hockey pucks; the other 17 events (25%) did not involve a projectile, but rather were the result of broad surface bodily contact with the victim’s chest, such as in a collision with a teammate or a karate kick. Seven of the 69 commotio cordis victim’s (10%) survived their cardiac arrest; in 5 of these 7 survivors cardiopulmonary resuscitation by bystanders was particularly prompt (² 1 minute). Eleven of the 59 commotio cordis events (19%) occurred despite the presence of chest padding or protection, while in the other 48 victims the precordium was completely unprotected. Of note, 4 of the victims in the study group of 69 experienced modest chest blows removed from sports activities, either in playful or adversarial circumstances; each of these was convicted of criminal acts within the justice system.

We have all been there. Wide right happened on my 14th birthday. Back in the old days, people did get hurt playing the game, 1971 apparently a Lions WR passed away during the game for the same injury Hamlin has. The level of violence in the game today is greater than it has ever been; the players are bigger, faster and stronger than ever. Yeah they take the risk on, but man it's becoming life or death (especially when you include CTE). Seeing the Talley's struggle stays with me a lot too, but what happened to Hamlin is really terrible. I have just been uncomfortably numb for the last 24 hours and will still be for some time. I care more about the players, their families and Damar more than anything else right now. Screw playing football right now

I agree. Everything is forever changed with the NFL, the Bills, the Bengals, the fans and most importantly for him and his family. Dealing with this has certainly f'd with me a lot I'm just hopeful that he is able to recover and have a normal life...this is just awful

I had seasons when Everett happened, I think about it every time I go back to the stadium, this brought me right back to what it was like being there. There was one clip of Sean last night it looked like he was saying "oh my god oh my god oh my god" like 50 times in a 5 second close up...Seeing Sean freak out really got me and TRe - I hope they are all taking care of themselves the best they can... This is just awful
