Jets' Coles may sit out vs. Redskins with concussion

Yes all that being considered about Coles and his mental and physical toughness.

That not withstanding, but are there not NEW league rules with regard to concussions? I thought I heard something about it during the off season from the owners meetings.

They voted on concussions and that once a player is diagnosed with a concussion, depending on the severity, it is mandatory that they sit out a pre-determined number of games.

I may be incorrect, but concussions in the league have become a very hot topic from the league standpoint.

Coles may not have a choice about playing or not, there may be a league rule that forbids it. Anyone else have anything more, or heard this as well?I haven't heard about making players take games off. What I think they did is make all the teams follow a specific pattern while dealing with concussions. Something like making players go through all the tests medically before ever having them step back on the field.

I think it would be smart for him to sit this one out... esp. w/ ST and LL looming in the secondary

not to high jack , but.... while i am pleased with our defense( other then last week) what has Laron Landry done as far as big hits? the only one i remember cost the skins 15 yards. and Taylor has turned into a interception machine, but isn't having the big, jacked up hits he usually has.

Landry had a good hit around the goal line on 4th down to basically end the Philly game. And is it really a bad thing that Taylor is an interception machine? I also miss the hits, but an interception has a much bigger impact on the game.

i am not arguing. but it seems like those big hits have disappeared, and our defense is a helluva alot better without them. it also seems like guys are flying to the ball again

With each of those big hits in the past came 5 or 6 missed tackles or interception. Its coming ST going to jack someone up and I'm betting its this week!!

The thing is that EVERYONE in the NFL knows what ST can do... so that huge hit always has the poss. of being just 1 play away and believe me every WRs we play knows hes back there, and anyone who watched LL at LSU know the same thing.... it can happen on any given play
