We need to talk about Chris Olave’s concussion issues (2 Viewers)

[RaisingTheBar]

He needs to wear a guardian cap from now on and we need to invest in a WR early in the next couple of drafts. There. Discussed.

Anyone else as concerned as I am about this?

The whole media/fan world criticizes the Dolphins organization and their handling of Tua, who has had four concussions since 2019. Well, our guy Olave is now at four concussions since 2022.

This is becoming a major problem for him and one that may deserve drastic measures.

His issues? Getting head to head contact from defenders? Like he did something wrong? How about officiating issues, not Olave issues.

A concussion is a concussion. He’s sustaining them frequently and easily, regardless of the how.

Is that what those things are called?

Ok. Lay down and let me whack you with a hammer in the head. Week after week. And then we will blame you. Last week was a travesty when no flag came out.

I am not “blaming” anybody man. Why are so many of you guys looking to pick fights out of nothing lately? Geesh.

I am just expressing concern over our guy having an abnormal number of concussions over a short period of time. MY BAD!

Yep

Just listened to DA's presser from today. Olave is still in the concussion protocol. That is not a good sign.

 

[MikeyF]

I still don't get the referee not calling helmet to helmet on that play...

He ear-holed Olave with the crown of his helmet!

Not only was there a no call but the NFL did not fine the player later in the week...

 

[Jesse Custer]

I've been lucky enough to only have one. My dad said I'd probably have more, but luckily, my head's up my arse so there's a natural layer of protection built in.

 

[RadsRock]

Man, I find the posts addressing his contract in the context of his concussions.... well, disturbing.

I get that it's a business and the team brass have to have those conversations. But we as fans don't. With what we know about CTE, suicides and other long-term issues, our only concern should be for the man and his life after football.

Ross Jackson was saying since we haven’t been practicing he hasn’t been able to advance through the protocol.

 

[Goatman Saint]

Olave needs to do the get down or get out method of playing. When you know a play is done get down or get out of bounds and save your health.

Yeah, because he had so much time to do that on that play.

Interesting, maybe DA was just using a technicality to be secretive?
