My Take on Dungey this weekend

[mlbball99]

I watched the clip of Dungey getting hit again, and it definitely wasn't a concussion. The hit is right into his shoulder, nothing in the head area.

Having said that, I have a strong theory Dungey is playing this weekend. Babers has reitereated all week in interviews that "NC State is listeneing and he will not comment on Dungey's status, or who of Wilson and Mahoney are playing"

This is Babers mind game to have NC State plan for anything and everything.

When its all said and done, Dungey will be out there. Things got quiet after Amba and Zaire said he practiced. I'd imagine they heard it from the coaches to not say anything else after that.

Lets go get this win vs. NC State. Hopefully some trickery again...

Or maybe he is out for sure, and the coaches told Amba and Zaire to plant the seed that he could play.

Dungey could blow out his knee and people here would say it was a concussion

I think it's exactly what he says it is - He's recovering, looks okay - but they are waiting for clearance from the medical staff.

It's encouraging that he's practicing, but not encouraging that the staff hasn't cleared him (as of last night).

Based on last years hits and now this one i think he has a cervical spine issue .. I watched him try to move or try to move his head and neck and then he had ice on his neck at Clemson .. whiplash

I think this board has a concussion.

Some sort of brain trauma for sure.

IF Dungey did in fact practice on Tuesday, he did not do so without medical clearance. Even if that clearance was for limited/no contact, you do not clear a player to practice at any level of participation in the middle of a concussion protocol.

This leads me to believe that Dungey either did not practice Tuesday, or Dungey does not have a concussion.

LOGIC!!! Good post.

My Take with a capital M and T has been trademarked. I think he married an attorney too, so good luck.

As for the Dungey issue, I have no good opinion to offer other than to say this. The medical staff and Babers should discuss everything with Eric and his parents and they all make a decision from there. End o' story.

My wife thinks I have a permanent concussion.

 

[dan7800]

I'm no MD (*Gasps*) but I have to believe and hope that if he had even a very very minor concussion then he wouldn't even go near a practice field all week.

Well...I'm an attorney as well. So try me. Seriously, try me

A light hearted attorney at that I see.

Who said they had or hadn't either way?

All they did was put out an injury report that said he was questionable. Which means exactly nothing, either way.

Gamesmanship.

Way too much logic, this post gave me a concussion...now I am going through protocol.

Coiln Byrne's interview suggests that ED isn't playing this week?

I have a feeling we're not going to see any players available to the media for a long time.

Some of you folks have no idea how concussions happen and are in denial.

You would think that it wouldn't be revealed to Brian Higgins of all people. You think in house that it would be coached not to ask questions like he did.

Interview was from Tuesday night.

You can thank Stephen Bailey for screwing that one up

Curent players said he practiced, Babers said they are waiting for clearance from the medical staff. The injury report backs up those two things since he's listed as "questionable"...

Agreed. Too many years of hitting our collective heads against brick walls due to frustration with our football team.
