LABOUR DAY CLASSIC

[Pete]

Harris did not have any concussion symptoms and is totally fine for LDC.

I dunno if you watch the replay right after he.was hit he looked wobbly. I've seen Zach put into protocol for lesser hits
  We will see how aggressive Harris is on Sunday especially if we can get a few early hits
 In fact Id run Suitors fav defence ,,the run stopping blitz! (Sounds like something out of a comic)

Leg cramps are the chosen excuse.

"I know he thought it was a big hit; it really wasn't that great of a hit. It wasn't in the top 50 I've taken," he quipped. "Didn't hit my head, and I felt good. I was cramping from the early third quarter on, and unfortunately, when I went down to the ground, both of them (Harris' legs) had cramped when I stood up. I kind of waddled off the field."

I can literally post a still or video of the back of his helmet whacking hard into the turf just like the hits Zach often takes.  (So nice gaslighting there Trevor.)  Difference is Zach will stay laying on the turf because he knows he's in the danger zone, and we usually keep him out the next week.  Harris wants to be the hero and health be darned.

Well typical pre LDC sleep! Eked out 5 hours or so.

Time to go load up the bus!

Jealous!  Sounds like fun.  Looks like I'm not going... the forecast changed back to all sunny 2 days ago.       But I'll keep eyeing the tix sites for desperate last-minuters, especially people who can't take 29C

Enjoy yourselves, bring good luck, and make lost of noise!

(Can't wait to see the depth chart today!)

Zach lays on his back and thinks about his children and how mad his wife will be if he gets up.  Trevor thinks about his age and how he's never led a team to the GC.

I also believe that Harris wants another contract for next season but he will be 40 so he has to show them he can take the hits.  It will be interesting to see what happens if he goes down as I believe that Maier is not capeable of lrading the Riders and their other QB is strickly a short yardage player.  Could we see a losing run for that team and they drop like a stone in the standings?

You also don't get a concussion every time you fall down guys.

Wow, the hatred and concussion speculation is unreal. If Harris was concussed I m thinking he'd be the first to get the appropriate rest and attention. Let it go already.

Best post of the issue.  So this.

Zach's completed his bucket list so many times he has 10 filled buckets hanging on his bedroom wall.  He doesn't have to do or prove anything.

Trevor knows this is probably his last, best chance in this season right now.

You know what?  I'd get up too.  Roll the dice and be a hero.  The only downside is slightly more brain scrambling and not being able to complete the season.  Game theory:

1. Stay down, miss 1-2 games, team no longer wins W, probably miss the cup
2. Get up, get concussed (worse) again, out 2-4 games, probably miss the cup
3. Get up, act like everything is fine, answer NO to all the fabled "concussion protocol" questions (it's all subjective, there's no objective "test"), probably win the W, easy cup shot, maybe win the cup, total hero and legend in Riderville forever

#1 & #2 have the same outcome.  Only #3 getting up and ignoring the risk gets you anything.  Given the downsides, which aren't much worse than the status quo, I bet 100% of QBs who haven't won cups pick #3.  Wouldn't you?

[Tecno]

You also don't get a concussion every time you fall down guys.

Every time you fall back first and your head snaps back and whacks the turf?  I know that for Zach that's leave-the-game time EVERY TIME.

So the only questions then are, is Trevor's brain in the same shape as Zach's?  Anywhere close?  Older/younger?

Because if Trevor's brain is anywhere at all near Zach's then, yes, he got a concussion.  Ya, maybe minor.  It wasn't a super hard/fast head-to-turf whack.  Maybe on the lighter side compared to Zach's (he seemed to support it better and shoulders were more curled off the ground).  But the oldsters can have trouble from even a minor concussion.

One more thing: if Trevor's zombie walk wasn't cramps, but was concussion, then let's note that we've NEVER seen Zach do that zombie walk in all his time here.  Now that's because either he waits long enough on the turf for the zombie phase to pass, OR he's never taken that bad a concussion.  Or both.  And that should wake a lot of people up.

[Tecno]

Wow, the hatred and concussion speculation is unreal.

Who's hating?  It looks more like to me that the "concussions theorists" are the ones concerned about Trevor's health: it's the people hand-wavingly dismissing the zombie walk as "totally can't be concussion!" who are doing him a disservice.

I'm saying maybe hold him a week like we always do Zach.  How does that hurt?  Does the lust for a "good game" override that?

The beauty is... we may find out in a few short hours who is right!  It's a good thing for Trevor we a) have a bad pass rush, b) even worse with no depth or IMP at DT today, c) probably are going in full knockdown mode, d) even if we make it to the QB, usually go for fumbles rather than hellacious hits.

But you never know!  Blitzes might make up for our weak rush.  Tony Jones is probably the best candidate to actually record a legit sack.
