Tackle Jason Smith took baseline test and did not pass. Still struggling to overcome concussion. A legitimate concern, now on third week.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. The Rams official Twitter is not for the faint of heart...or bipolar today.

Do you think

that all the players on every other team are silently whispering amongst each other to avoid playing for this team at all costs? I mean, how many injuries constitute an “injury-plagued season,” and didn’t we have those already the past few years?

THIS year's the year. I hope....

Maybe J. Smith doesn't want to play...

…because if he does, our chances to win increase, and he had his popcorn out watching the Nebraska-Texas game and decided: “I don’t want to try to block that animal, and I don’t hope that fate for my O-Line teammates. Let me just sit out so we can get that guy on OUR team.”

This makes sense if you ask me. I do miss the big man out there though.

Heh.

I had to think about it for a sec, but it makes sense to me, too.

Conspiracy?

maybe all this concussion stuff is popping up because players dont want to play an 18 game season, by doing this they’re basically saying “see what happens during a 16 game regular season, if we played 18 we would get injured and not finish a season anyway”………..just a thought, im bored

I seriously doubt it

You don’t need to fake concussions on the football field. Just look at the way these guys hit each other, and the turf. And you really have any doubt at all that the injuries are legit?

Not even in the reality ballpark

There’s no chance in hell he’s making any more of this than it really is. If he’s not out there, he’s hurt. Every single interview I’ve read or heard of the man indicates he’s all business.

It’s kind of stunning that an LT can get so knocked. You think Punt Returner, RB, WR…something at extreme high speed. But here we have Bell and Smith both offensive linemen being seriously concussed.

To be fair to Bart Scott, he was coming through a hole in the O-line like a bat outta hell when he whacked Bell.
