Again to me and I'm no medical person. But after you see that whiplash effect on his head (last sunday) then seeing him get up and stagger. He was concussed and there's zero doubt.
It seems like a gross dereliction of duty to just ask Tua "what year is it" and shine a light in his eyes and say yup he's okay.
And herin lies the problem. The NFL needs to have their own independent doctors at each game to do the examinations and the team doctors need not be a part of it. I don't think most coaches have sway over the team doctors, but the team owners do. And we all know the Dolphins owners are slimy as they come.
