Doctor Reviews Mason Rudolph Scary Knockout and POSTURING after CONCUSSION
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 พ.ค. 2024
- Mason Rudolph of the Pittsburgh Steelers was knocked out in Sunday's game and appeared to show signs of abnormal posturing after sustaining a concussion. This is called a "fencing response" and indicates a more severe brain injury with production of abnormal reflexes from the brainstem. We'll look at the video and explain what is happening to cause this.

ESPN give this man a segment
Alan Aragon lmao would never happen. NFL doesn’t want to glorify injuries.
Eduardo Deleon he don’t just do NFL tho
@@yvngy1732 any sport isn't going to glorify injury. it looks bad on their brand
If you're watching ESPN for anything other than games then you haven't figured out way channels like this and Thinking Basketball are so appreciated by ppl like me.
I don’t think this is glorifying injuries. It’s educating about what’s happened and what’s the likely return prospects are from that sort of injury. I have a Sports Rehabilitation degree and I just learnt something in this video alone.
“Mason, were you out? How many fingers am I holding up?” “Absolutely not coach, the answer is Baltimore.”
TOMLIN: He good
AllAmericanWiseass That's just being a Steeler. When Jack Lambert broke his arm they put a cast on it and he still played. Eventually they made him take the cast off when he started using it as a weapon.
Kesley Cottrell 😂😂
@@kesleycottrell1416 the steelers way
To Andrew Luck: I now understand you needing to retire.
NKY Steve P thank you for coming to your senses... but lemme ask you where tf were they before?
To Andrew luck, enjoying those millions away from the demonic NFL
ellingtonsir AKA NyzFreeThinker shut up pussy
Sooooooo....u just started watching football???
It was good seeing him stand up for himself (:
*NFL gonna put a hit out on this man for exposing football*
Monkey D. Zoro Couldn’t agree more future Pirate King
I’m not gay
Remember the movie Concussion
RIP
You mean for money and YOUR entertainment and for the love of the game
I can't believe the NFL with its millions of dollars can't have a functional cart!
@Eric Lee crazy
Eric Lee couldn’t agree more. It’s pure vulgar
Have you ever had a car break down? Shit happens.
@Eric Lee how is this racist? You must be black. Shut up.
My thing is how could they not have a second cart on location.
“Oh you just were unconscious for a minute on the field”
“Walk it off”
Right?!
"Rub some dirt on it."
Take a salt tablet.
Ahhh... the good ole' days!
The only reason they did that was the cart wouldn't start. Multimillion dollar league and they can get a working cart. Fuck off NFL.
The moment I saw him get knocked out, I immediately thought of your channel and wondered what happened at a deeper level. Awesome work!
the first thing I thought when I saw it I remembered Shazier. In general when I don't see someone moving after a big hit I'm always fearing the worst for them. Steeler or not.
NFL doesn’t want this to be covered heavily. One of the ugliest knockouts since Burfict on Antonio Brown
Shazier one was pretty scary too. That game against the Bengals was like watching a frickin war.
Its always crazy to see a basement team like the Bengals pull out the war drums when they play Pittsburgh.
Which steeler fucked the mom of everyone from Cincinnati?
@@AtariiWave link to that game?
Damn, I actually clearly understood this. He should be on TV.
My heart sank when I saw him lifeless on the ground and teammates flagging the medical staff to hurry onto the field. I had flashbacks of Ryan Shazier. Just to watch the replay and see that as soon as he was struck in the chin area, he was knocked out cold was scary. Thanks for the deep analysis doc.
Someone commented here, "it was the wind knocked out him." I told dude go through the same hit then come back and tell me that.
The entire Steelers medical staff needs to get fired. There's NO excuse for having him lumber off the field. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Sloane Treat he wanted to walk off the field. He wouldn’t get in the cart
@@peterelder9894 he also didn't know where he was
@@peterelder9894 Oh, I aint know he wanted to walk off the field. Oh yes, in that case, then we will do exactly what the person who has been unconscious for a minute wants to do because the "cart" at Heinz field wasn't working. The same thing happens when a heroin-addict overdoses and is taken to the hospital. They ask him what he would like to do, and naturally, he says he wants another hit. The doctors then inject him with more heroin because that's what he wanted to do. Now it all makes sense.
@@Drigo001 its his right. Not comparable to addict
Im a Steelers fan since 75, I absolutely agree with you, That kid needed to be carted off the field.... the medical staff failed him miserably....I hope he put an attorney on their ass and the NFL
He looked like he was a million miles away walking on the sidelines
Yeah he was gone. Stumbled a few times too, he really got rocked :/ (I know stating obvious)
Tim Dailey it was hard to watch
Dude was on a Joe Rogan DMT trip into another dimension
When he got up he was talking about butterflies and beehives! He had know idea where he was or what was going on at all!
De'Vante Bausby had a bad injury today aswell, you should take a look at his neck/spine injury in more depth in another video
That was brutal and an unfortunate accident. I hate seeing anyone get injured. Hope he recovers fully and gets back on the field.
The Steelers medical staff deserved to be cut after this debacle. What were they thinking?
It was really scary watching it live. As soon as he dropped you knew it was bad.
Scary
And then you saw two lineman's trying to tap him to wake him up and they started freaking out basically
@@killerplane1136 and then juju almost started crying and man, I was hella scared.
MAGACOP Get out of here with that toxic garbage. Imagine thinking that having normal, human emotions is somehow bad.
@@Neekalos hes troll
This is the worst steelers season ever RIP
Didn't we go 0-4 at the beginning of last year? We'll be fine.
acedogg692005 last year you haf big ben and ab what do you have now?
I know its great . Im loving it.
@@acedogg692005 No you will not. You are screwed you have no qb you will not be saved byy him and you traded your high first round pick already. I love how screwed this season is for Stoolers.
acedogg692005 No. they were 1-2-1 after four weeks last year. Not even close
As a firefighter/emt, I'm also confused when they didn't immobilize him or even try to stabilize the c-spine.
I Agree, as a hospital employee, CT Tech, I was dumbfounded when I saw them walk him off the field. Was no one on the sideline medically trained that day. Mehh protocol is for wimps
As I stated in another comment. Evidence based medicine has clearly shown immobilization on a back board is significantly more harmful than helpful. Patients in the field are allowed to self extricate and walk to the stretcher on a regular basis. That being said, a c-collar at least would be appropriate. If you work in a system where you still routinely immobilize on a backboard, you should speak to your medical director about a protocol change. It is hurting your patients.
@@deltachange6204 Backboarding is one of those things that are going away. Dude got straight rocked, and was out for a bit. Ideally him walking around isn't great especially after some posturing. Backboarding isn't our go-to anymore since a couple years ago, but a c-collar I absolute would throw on.
Ok, why does everyone all of a sudden have experience in the medical fields.
@@JM-id2ys because we are interested in medical videos so we watch them.
I LOVE how quickly you make these videos.
Still my favorite current channel 🙌
When I saw them help him walk off the field I was thinking, "Boi, what is you doin!?"
jefftkey if they ran the certain tests on the field he was fine enough to walk off honestly i think people over reacted to this because i see him getting hit in the chest pads then the facemack he has support in the neck it didnt extend back he wasnt hit in the head and the helmet im sure are better then when i played football. I see this as wind knocked out when he actually hit the ground was more interesting then the actual hit by the defensive players from the looks of it but still not that scary!!
It's easy to say that now. But at the time, they had to suspect a neck injury. Unless these "certain tests" included a CT scan, a back board or at least a cervical collar should have been used.
@@hulkinbrent6376 sure "wind knocked out of him".. okay I want to see you get hit the same way then tell me that statement.
Great job Doc. I am happy to see your channel growing rapidly. Again thanks for educating us as always. Praying for Rudolph's health.
Steelers doctors and trainers need to be taught basic first aid all over again. Not putting him on a backboard is criminal. NFL needs to look into this.
juan catfish are you the TH-cam commenter telling a team of doctors what is best?
Dude mason Rudolph indicated that he wanted to walk off the field
Mason Rudolph didn't know what had just happened in all likelihood.
Mason Rudolph was knocked back to the mental capacity of a 2 year old after that hit. There is no way he wanted to just get up and walk. He could barely walk, and he was stumbling with help!
You would be surprised how often they dont use back boards any more
Thank you Dr. Brian Sutterer!
The amount of times I heard the phrase “brain damage” in this video is scary
Hopefully more people understand concussions with that being repeated.
Great insight doc, thank you for these videos!
Does anyone else feel weird talking about his return to football? To me I don’t want to see him get hurt or honestly, shave more years off his life.
A C that hit already did some long term damage
Id retire after that hit. Nope. Not worth the money. Next time he won't be so lucky.
A C id easily shave a few years of my life for millions of more dollars
loyson u don‘t get CTE from one hit
@@AveGraphics uh exactly how do you know they cant even diagnose cte while your alive.
They should’ve brought the ambulance on the field, every football stadium has EMS on site. It didn’t make sense to me.
Well he's a back up. That's their thinking. Can't say I blame luck for quitting
I agree, he should not of walked of the field like that
They were probably trying to minimize his injury so he can return at a sooner date. Typical employer, also thinking of their bottom line rather than the athletes wellbeing.
Joe Tome seeing an ambulance on the field would’ve looked better than him stumbling around.
I've been knocked out, from a 12 footfall from a will headfirst on to concrete, was out for like 5 minutes, ppl near me didn't call the ambulance, just got me back up and a started working again
I really don’t see myself having any future in the medical field but these videos are super interesting and well made. I can’t stop watching for some reason
Great video as always Dr! I love your channel and the knowledge you share. I feel like I should be paying a copay every time I click on one of your videos!!
Great video as always. Could you please do one on Lloris arm injury?
Brighton v Tottenham in the Premier League yesterday, just in case the doc is not that familiar with English football
Great work Doctor.
Thank you, sir. God bless you keep informing us.
Excellent video. It is good to hear from an MD who also understands sports -- and can talk to us without dumbing it down.
Great video! Can you talk about Johnny Knox’s crazy back injury? He was bent backwards nearly in half.
That was a terrible injury :/
@El Pollo Loco , Was It That Gruesome ?
Tez_ Foe yes
Big Naps just checked out that injury I’m scarred
Can’t believe they allowed him to “walk” off the field! Sooooo Irresponsible for his health.
Just because someone says “Hey, I’m fine” doesn’t mean you listen to the guy who was just Knocked Out!
Chill out. Freak out much?
Why don't they get stretchers for boxers when they get knocked out?
He knew he wasn't fine, and everybody around him was aware of it.But, We cannot assume that Mason Rudolph made the final decision to walk off. We weren't on the turf. Though the situation with the Medical Cart was very unfortunate given the situation. It was the wrong time to break down.
It's the NFL, they don't give a crap about brain injury lol
Fascinating video, thank you for this content!
Hello Dr. Sutter! I love your videos and I have been watching it for a while now! Keep up the great content! I know this is a long shot of you reading this, but I am in a Respiratory Therapy program and I was wondering what tips do you have on memorizing drug cards for Pharmacology. Right now it’s mainly bronchodilators and I am having a hard time memorizing them all. Sorry if this relates nothing to the video but I would like to get your take on it. Thank you again!
It’ll be so idiotic for someone to tell this man that he doesn’t know what he’s talking about because this guy is straight up teaching out here lol😂
I had concussions in high school and college from football that were never caught/diagnosed because in the mid 90s it wasn’t part of the protocol for athletes like it is now. I also have competed in combat sports like boxing and MMA.
I remember losing the ability to do minor tasks for about a week or two, like gripping a pencil properly and writing. Reading because a struggle because things were a bit blurry and my head hurt. I don’t know how severe it was. Never lost consciousness from any of them. Was able to finish out games and practices every time because the mentality back then was for us to shake it off and get back in there. I don’t want to think about what long term effects it has had on me, now that I’m 38. I do feel like I am more short tempered than I ever was before and will sometimes struggle to find the proper words when I’m talking or explaining something to someone. I have chronic headaches that feel like migraines.
With all that being said, I enjoyed my years playing football and don’t regret it. I don’t tell anyone that they shouldn’t play or that they shouldn’t let their kids play. It’s a decision they have to make for themselves. My son does not play football but if he ever wanted to play I would probably consider letting him but wouldn’t want to make him fearful of injury by telling him what has happened to me. Playing football with fear is probably more dangerous than playing recklessly.
Thanks for sharing. HelI I like the way you talk
Knowing what you know and experiencing what you did I find it hard to believe you would allow your flesh and blood to risk his young body.Please reconsider.Football and boxing isn't important.A smart and healthy life with no brain concussions is infinitely more important.
Bruce Gelman you can get a concussion playing soccer, hockey, volleyball, wrestling, etc. You can smack your head getting in or out of a car. There are plenty of ways to become concussed. It isn’t just in football or boxing. The risk can be higher but in many ways they have attempted to make the sports safer through rules and equipment. I’m not saying i would be in favor of my son playing, but at the same time I can’t say I would tell him he couldn’t. It’s not as simple as saying yes or no. There is way more to the topic than that. I certainly would never force a child to play a contact sport. I experienced more injuries in baseball and wrestling than in football and combat sports combined. I mean sure, those were bone breaks or tissue injuries rather than trauma to the head (I was hit in the head by a pitch in baseball; no concussion symptoms from that). Maybe I’m just super unlucky. Some athletes seem to never be concussed or injured.
Thanks for explaining this in simple terms. I was in a bad car accident fell out of the car and suffered a tbi. A nurse on her way home saw the crash and pulled over to help. She held my head until the medics got there. I’ve been told she probably saved my life and prevented anymore brain trauma. I’ve always wondered how she knew to hold my head and this explains it.
You got new sub this kinda stuff fascinate me !
This was a very interesting video on a very interesting injury. I am wondering if one of the main reasons he was walked off the field, despite it not being the most medically sound choice, was to ease the drama and concern of fans and players? EMS was obviously there and ready to go, so I suspect that much of the choice made was for "non medical" reasons, though it wasn't perhaps the safest choice for his injury
CTE: Aight now is my chance!
Very interesting information, thanks for sharing it! Hope Mason gets well, it was really scary 😰
Awww poor mason I'm a fan of the Steelers but mostly him because I'm nine :(
New Report: Mason was at Steeler team meetings this morning per local reports.
This young man should not be playing football any more. ..period.
Great job on segment.... 👍
Very intelligent and informative. Good job!
Thanks for the discussion.
In early 2018, I fell and hit the back of my head. I awoke forty-five minutes later. I could hear children chanting the old rhyme, "It's raining. It's pouring. The old man is snoring. He went to bed with a lump on his head and didn't get up in the morning." A minute or so after I revived, I threw up. There happened to be a bucket nearby, and I threw up in the bucket. When I did, I put my hand down and into a puddle that I'd vomited before I came back around. I then desperately needed to have a bowel movement. When I finished that, I considered going to bed, but the nursery rhyme made me think that going to sleep would be fatal.
I called 9-1-1 and went onto my enclosed front porch to wait for the ambulance. While I was waiting, I threw up again and faded out again. I awoke to the 9-1-1 operator trying to get my attention. I eventually was able to talk to her and told her that I could see the flashing lights. I'd opened the door before I passed out again, and the EMTs came to me about that time.
I have a disease that no one has really diagnosed anyway, so I'm not functioning well anyway. I was already trying to get disability when I fell. I don't remember having any symptoms after I got home. I was in the ER for about six hours before they released me. They didn't find any damage on the X-rays, but the back of my head has never returned to normal shape.
Obviously, I have no idea whether I went into the fencing posture. I live alone, so no one could have known that. Now, I wonder about that.
I wonder whether I would have come around within a few minutes if I'd had people talking to me as they talked to Mr. Rudolph. That he never threw up seemed like a good sign at the time.
Either way, these things interest me a great deal.
Plz have someone move in with you bro im worried about you and i dont even know you.
@@p4p384 🙏
I hope you've gotten a bit better atleast man, and that you have somebody who cares about you that you can tell about these incidents before they get serious enough for 9-1-1. I dont know you at all, but I want you to know that people care, and are hoping for your success.
VTPSTTU U need to get a Jesus in your life Man U should not hear that at all... weird
Thank you to everyone for your concern.
I'm about 99% certain that I fell because of a medication that I was taking at the time. I still get dizzy sometimes, but the incidences are much fewer and much less severe now that I've gone off the medication.
I don't have anyone that I want to have living with me. I'd rather die than be in assisted living. For the time being, my situation is what it is.
Can you do a video about osteochondritis dissecans. I was just diagnosed with it and need surgery
Meditate
I had that and I was lucky and didn’t need surgery just 4 months on crutches and no weight bearing
Very informative, thank you!
Great Prognosis Doc !!!!!
If he still has a brain it's time to retire!
He needs to stick it out a few more years and get his money
It was the ground that caused most of the damage. Clock anyone in the jaw hard theyll go down like that. It's just his he'd bounced. He can recover from this, the grounds a lot softer them direct helmet to helmet; which this wasn't. The ground caused the concussion not the hit.
@@soulsnatcher5408 Are you living in opposite land? DO OYU HAVE CTE?
Sidney Crosby was out for a long time. It was about a year before he recovered.
Hey there, great video first off!
I have a question if I may, if you compare this to ATNR, how is it explained that his head is turned *away* from the extended arm? I'm just curious.
Very thoroughly covered sir!
Dr strange had to bring his soul back from the astral plane
Damn!! Lol
River Valley University this was a fantastic comment!
Also to mention Tony Jefferson almost snapped his own leg in half ....(
He tore his acl. Injury will happen these guys are 6ft 4in 250lbs running full boar at each other. Imagine.
I feel bad for him as a human but won’t miss him on the football field he’s garbage and drags the entire secondary down with him.
Steelers fan for over 50 years and this is one of the most assinine things I have seen from this organization for a long time. You are in my prayers Mason. Take care and speedy recovery. God bless
Thank you, Dr. for explaining the protocol for this kind of injury. I just pray Mason will fully heal. I think sometimes an injury like this can play on your mental state. You may be fully physically healed but this could have a lasting effect emotionally.
As a lifeguard I was cringing when they just made Rudolph get up.
And now Myles Garrett beats him with his own helmet! Rudolph is having a bad year
That was scary 😓 I hate to see any player get hurt 😓
Hey Doc, good vid. Reminds me of when a boxer gets knocked out. Depending on the hit, their hands sometimes lock up like that. Is it the same or slightly different?
So nothing serious, "just" damage to his brain. Just. At least it wasn't something mission critical to the rest of his existence as a human being like his throwing arm.
The funny sotry was of an NFL coach telling reporters in the 90s "Yeah, our qb had a concussion in the first quarter but healed up by half time."
I got a concussion when I was about 7 or 8 and it's still screwing with me 25 years later (I was unconscious for a few min)
@M Detlef 🤣😂🤣😂 its difficult but I'm gonna make it
Were you told you were unconscious for a few minutes or is that what it felt like? Because there is a very big difference.
hey love your stuff. I'm a pro baller in Europe and I recently suffered a grade 3 contusion with tearing and all in my quad. It has since progressed into miositis ossifcants and I've read that its a common football and basketball injury. I was wondering if you could do a video with your opinion on such injuries and the approach you would take when it comes back to the return to sport while minimizing the effects/growth of the miositis ossification.
Thanks! Cheers.
Great video, thanks
Crazy how these qb’s can get koed and hurt so bad yet brady can stay clean for 20 years, just shows getting rid of the ball quickly and bracing for hits is so important.
They dog out Matt Stafford for errant throws and getting rid of the ball quick also, but I don't blame him! Beats getting knocked out,and the lingering effects of concussion.
Nowadays he really takes care of himself but he's taken some pretty gnarly shots early in his career so it's safe to say he's learned his lesson. Makes sense that the only way you last so long would be to take extreme precaution.
Alex l I’ve never seen Brady get hit what are you talking about he’s in pristine condition
@@realaudioreviews nowadays you don't see it. That's my point. But go watch nate clements hit on brady in 2001. He took shots like that more often than now and surprisingly he always got right up. Throwback Brady is tougher than ppl remember.
Alex l yeah he’s gotta a lot of haters but fact is he’s tough and has taken more sacks than manning and brees the haters will never admit
*_Team Owners hate him!_*
*_See how he exposes football in this one simple video._*
Excellent thank you.
I am also a casualty of head injury. Recieved during football back in '79. Knowing what we know now, we can look back and see that is when my personality changed. I went from an A & B student to C's and D's. Became rebellious, impulsive, my fight or flight went to fight or fight because even now I still don't realize the whole situation at the time. I have learned to deal with it and have made adjustments over the years to become more functional and successful.
Since I see that you've gone to IU, could you possibly do a video over Jerome Hunter's leg injury?

Analysis Hugo Lloris's injury that happened on the weekend
Hey thats my name
As an RN of 40 years, with 20 years of that experience in ED Trauma, I was screaming the same thing at the TV. Immobilize him! Where is the spine board? Oh My God, who is in charge there? OK State fan here as well. Watched Rudolph for 4 years and HATED seeing that injury -so, so scary. I was really worried that he had a C-Spine injury!
Excellent video, excellent channel
To my eyes (definitely not a doctor) it looks like his hands are doing exactly what they do at the end of a throwing motion, coincidentally the moment he got hit. Right fingers extended, wrist turned out, left arm tucked in with hand clenched.
Is this a thing sometimes with knockouts? I've seen several knockouts in MMA fights and other football injuries where it looks like the athlete's body is trying to do whatever they were doing the moment the lights went out.
Check out the Ben Askren knock out. Dude displays the exact same symptoms that Rudolph does, such as the fencing response.
@@punishedhuey4797 they're similar, but the QB's right hand is in a much more specific position. The end of a throwing motion puts the hand in that outwardly rotated spot with the fingers extended. It just seems more specific than a general fencing response
Kyle AND dude to me its not a scary hit or head related injury i see the guy getting the wind knocked out of himself and falling limp to the sidelines gives the motion while falling like 1 minute! This guy isnt a head or neurologist specialist talking so for me a guy with a tbi and is disabled i take what hes saying as just googled also i dont see anything that shows head injury till when he falls to the ground!!!
Man they were walking him off he just looked off i hope he doesn’t come back to soon
Dr. Sutterer, can you give a breakdown on Tytus Howard's MCL sprain this week for the Texans and the recovery time expectations?
Thanks Doc - very informative. But as someone who worked in EMS for much of my career, I can't understand why he wasn't placed on a full spine board and carried off the field. One lucky guy! Thanks for posting.
I had to do a concussion test for golf one time i couldn’t imagine why
wtf
When that dude forgets to yell FORE yeah, that could be why
Probably fell off the beer cart. Heh heh
Gayyy
Had to do one for cross country
Who’s here after Tua’s injury?
me bro
Seems like this happens a lot it’s almost like it’s a dangerous game , who knew 🤷♂️
I thought this was going to be some duchebag YT doctor but halfway through I pulled out a notebook and started taking notes. Genuine insight appreciated.
Haha thanks!
Just coming across this guy he’s awesome man wow!!
It's tough being a Steelers fan this season. I expect we sign another QB this Monday
Mark My guess is they’ll pull Paxton lynch off the practice squad
It's tough being a steeler fan since 2011. I'm glad clowntonio is gone tbh. We need our defense back.
@Eric Lee mason could of done this and maybe he still will his qbr was 102.5 this year.
Billy Mays loves drugs he also threw only 3 passes of over 10 yards in the win against the bengals. He did look like he was feeling it tho in the game today before he went down. So who knows
@@nickcojocar5474 lmao bigben kinda does that too pittsburgs offense has always been like that. The only time it wasnt is when Todd haley was there for obvious reasons but we did nothing in the playoffs anyway. Honestly i think the Steelers need to tank and build their defense again.
seeing him on the ground was heartbreaking
My heart sank. I was having flashbacks to Shaziers injury.
Great info
DUDE killing the vids
and JU JU was so shook
0:56 mason Rudolph opens his mouth thats why he got knocked out
There has been little mention of the hit from behind flinging Rudolph's upper body forward and his head slightly downward. Thomas' helmet, IMHO, would have hit him below the chin absent that rear-side hit, not to mention the hit from the rear created something akin to the doubling of any impact, like a car crossing the centerline and hitting the car coming from the other direction head-on. Also, the hits which don't allow the hittee to recoil a bit, such as where the ground is on the other side of the direction of the force, or, as in this case, another player's mass inhibits any recoil, produce the most gruesome injuries in football.
It's gladatorial combat in the 21st Century, fun to watch if you can de-personalize the players, but brutal to play. OTOH, if your most wonderful skill and money-making talent is to be a football player, who has the right to tell you to work in a factory, instead, and struggle to pay your bills and die without anybody outside your immediate family ever having known who you are and what you could do? The NFL should have a comprehensive lifetime medical insurance program in place and fully endowed to care for their players after retirement, and to save society the cost of caring for them. If they did that, and if the players were fully informed of the risks inherent in the game, blow the whistle and let the kickoff commence.
But this incident is noteworthy as showing that all the new rules seeking to limit or prevent concussions will never succeed in their goal. There is just too much random mayhem on the field, and the guys just keep getting bigger, stronger, and faster year after year.
He would've been out regardless. He caught the helmet right on the jaw.
Look at his helmet wave lol. Brutal. The one in the packers game a bit ago was bad too. Almost or is similar. One hitting him in the back forcing his head into the other one running a train through him. Smashed his head between two helmets. But I kinda agree that it might be because he opened his mouth. It's taking a punch with out having g your chin down
NFL trying to cover this up saying he was hit "IN THE CHEST" how disgusting is that??
Thx for this I was pretty scared not a big Steelers fan but I used to live a town away from Rudolph and he is my 2nd cousin
Very informative
do you think he got knocked out so badly because his mouth was wide open when he got hit in his jaw?
he was screaming! Still made the throw and ate the hit. Shiiiit id be too with earl thomas running full speed at me lol
I think he got knockout from getting hit in the jaw then his 6ft 5in 300lbs body deadweighting whiplashed his neck violently thus slamming his head on the ground causing the concussion.
Billy Mays loves drugs 300 sheesh. He’s like 230
@@nickcojocar5474 How many pounds does that football gear weigh? That will still add weight even if the man's a noodle.
Lipstick Zombie football gear is not 70+ pounds. probably around 12 pounds with most of it being in the helmet. shoulder pads are extremely light now a days
Who else read his name as brain stutterer 😂

He had his mouth wide open also. That ain't good doc.
SteelersGoingFor 7 he was gasping for air from getting the wind knocked out if u actually have eyes and this video shows it better he gets hit more in the chest and facemask second i dont see anything scary more a flop and does his hand single after words while falling
@@hulkinbrent6376 open your eyes triggered mouth breather...his mouth was open prior to either hit...wow. try to be a smart ass and look dumb..fair play tho brenty.
SteelersGoingFor 7 u seem triggered by my response lmao poor guy
@@hulkinbrent6376 you act like I clicked a random video..I do have eyes..you just sounded a lil upset..and wrong. But it's all good, he'll be back in a week or 2. Have a good one.
I don’t think it benefitted him to not have his mouthpiece in or his mouth open at impact. I believe it exacerbated his symptoms.
Jimmy Gray anyone who gets hit right on the button is going to sleep immediately
