sure acted like he was dinged to me, agree.
Now this next I'm NOT presenting as evidence AT ALL... of anything to do with our topic... it's just an observation on how people react to injury that I found interesting.. and this occurred DURING the injury, while he remained seated on the field.
When they sat him up Weddle had a 'glazed' look that seemed to me to be so obvious that I wasn't sure he was conscious even though in the sitting position. I remember thinking that clearly... he wasn't responding to anything, that I could see.... and THEN...
He replied to a question that was asked of him, (no idea what the question was or who asked it)... and INSTANTLY the glazed look disappeared and he seemed to me to respond perfectly naturally.. no glazed look at all and quick to respond. I remember thinking, "That's odd". Here I thought he was in la-la land and when he responded to the question asked of him GONE... wide awake, perfectly coherent...
Now again... I'm not saying that as proof of ANYTHING... just saying how surprised I was at his reaction... both the 'glazed' one and what seemed to me the 'post-glazed' reaction. - JamesJM
