TD716 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 I feel for Tua. I know it’s a fast moving game, but Damar Hamlin has got to stop accepting blows and tackling with his chest. 3 1 5 2 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the concern there, but hard to stop in the moment, and the odds that he experiences that again are extremely rare. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyCallMeAndy Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Honestly Hamlin needs to revert back to the 3rd safety. He’s played fine, but he doesn’t make much impact. Bishop is a much better athlete and a better pedigree of a player. 3 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORWOODS FOOT Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Cardiac Arrest, Concussions, Oh My! If I were Damar’s girlfriend I’d be afraid to lay my head on his chest: just seems like bad things happen! 2 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bishop is a much better athlete and a better pedigree of a player. And that's exactly what's going to happen once Bishop learns the defense. Perhaps as soon as Monday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 30 cases a year. Not talking about the NFL, that is in the entire US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJBobby Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Damar is just keeping the seat warm for Bishop. However played well last night 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he has a condition that makes him more susceptible to heart attacks or something. This is like telling a contractor he needs to stay away from ladders because a hammer fell on his foot one time. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO Hamlin was expecting Tua to slide once he got the 1st. Man has no field awareness as a runner (Tua I mean) 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 3 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Yeah. He needs to learn to tackle better. He's not the hammer, he's the nail. I think he probably approaches that tackle differently if it wasn’t a qb leading with his head. You never know with these crazy unnecessary roughness penalties these days 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my understanding it has to be a hard hit, at a specific time of a heartbeat that causes the heart to stop beating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 On the flip side, good to see that Hamlin took a blow to the chest and commotio cordis didn't happen again, for his psyche. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man has no field awareness as a runner (Tua I mean) Yes and there was no way he was going to get a TD so once he got past 1st down marker he should have slid but based on poor field and game getting chippy with multiple late blows by Phish players he might have felt it was safer or he might have got an unnecessary roughness cal.. Bad call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasaluki Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Honestly with how thin they are at safety Hamlin is a good player to have around. I'm glad he came back to life and is still playing for the Bills, and I think he played pretty well last night. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
