This is from an article in SI on the high rate of injuries in the NFL this year:

"Some of the textbook big hits look worse than they are. If you see it coming, you adjust your body to make it less violent. What really hurts is somebody who's 300 pounds lying on you. Sometimes after a big hit you'll see everything in black and white. Once against New Orleans, I got hit so hard by one of their big guys that I came up screaming-not at anyone, but just trying to shake it off. Sometime you don't know what's going on. You check if everything is still functioning and try to regain your composure to run the next play. If you can't continue, you don't want to get up because you want to give the guy on the sideline the chance to warm up"-Patrick Ramsey
