Anyone with any updates please post. I haven't heard anything about Pierce. ESPN made a comment that we are hoping to have zuniga next week as well so there could be something there. And obviously any trask updates.
Pierce fumbled because he was temporarily knocked out by the hit, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in the concussion protocol. Whether or not he had a shoulder injury as well, that was not clear from the broadcast.I was at the game and Pierce went straight to the locker room but, I wasn't sure if he was concussed or had a shoulder problem. Any insight would be appreciated.
I noticed our players make him lay back down after he got up. Thanks for clearing it up.Pierce fumbled because he was temporarily knocked out by the hit, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in the concussion protocol.

Yes. Peirce lowered his head and the helmet to helmet was unavoidable.I was at the game, so didn't really see hear any explanation about why it wasn't a penalty for targeting? The student section was pretty animated for the rest of the game as a result and I tend to think with some justification too.
It was clearly helmet to helmet...did the broadcast explain why it wasn't flagged?
See. I don't know if I buy that. Have to rewatch. Pierce was going forward. I doubt he even saw the hit from the side. So he wasn't lowering his head for the collision. Dude hit him straight up in the airhole with crown.Yes. Peirce lowered his head and the helmet to helmet was unavoidable.

Pierce was KO'd. He got up after the hut and was staggering around and fell down. Some player grabbed him and waved the trainers in.
I'm more concerned with Greenard, Delance. wheres Ventrell Miller been?
Basically it came down to three factors:I was at the game, so didn't really see hear any explanation about why it wasn't a penalty for targeting? The student section was pretty animated for the rest of the game as a result and I tend to think with some justification too.

Basically it came down to three factors:
1) Pierce lowered his head
2) There was no apparent intent to injure, defender didn’t launch up or into Pierce’s head
3) Pierce was not a defenseless player
This was Gary’s and the replay ref that they call up from New York or whoever he sits explanation as to why it wasn’t targeting. I’d be fine with this, except I’ve seen players flagged AND ejected for much less, which is why the rule is fuking stupid.
Right, he turns his head to the right and tackles australian style as weve been told we are supposed to be doing now and neither player gets a massive blow to the head.It also kills the whole principle behind the rule. It’s about player safety. .
