    Does he get concussed on the kickoff return?

    His left arm is a sleeve tattoo

    Maybe, but he didn't have a concussion earlier. The training staff didn't take his helmet.

    As long as he plays Saturday, I don't care.

    Swain is pretty adamant it wasn't disciplinary, on Twitter, fwiw

    So was Ainge, but he was just speculating.

    I don't find it all that unlikely that Kamara has expressed his displeasure with being utilized so infrequently and there was always a plan to feature him for a few series in the UGA game. He considered declaring and came back for what? 1.5 touches a game? It might also be possible that coincidentally Hurd suffered a concussion on that last kickoff or during practice Monday. He plays extremely rough, was in the game on the most dangerous play, and is not used to playing in the return game. Doesn't seem unlikely at all that he destroyed a guy on the return and in the process rung his own bell. Someone that has it DVRed should check it out.

    Hurd rarely goes full contact in practice

    Oh no problem, all I was getting at is that there were some who are usually pretty reliable that are saying concussion versus others that are saying disciplinary. I totally agree with you and others who have said that it's not a concussion. You can also rewind the tape and watch Hurd sprint to the dog pile at the end of the game and leap into it...Doesn't look like someone with a concussion to me.

    His body language on the sidelines to me looked like someone who was ticked off as well.

    My favorite bit of gossip is that he was supposed to be sidelined on his TD catch but checked himself in and was subsequently benched at RB.

    I actually don't know if he played RB after that. He didn't have any carries.

    Sometimes not all of the symptoms manifest right away.

    That actually doesn't sound that unbelievable to me, either.

    I think Kamara can be just as effective if given the same number of touches that Hurd is given per game. The problem is the drop off from Hurd/Kamara to Kamara/Kelly.

    I want to see Kelly run some as well. That dude runs hard and is shifty.

    Hurd just adds that power dimension. I think this offense needs it bad. But, that would be a nice list to make. Things this offense needs bad.
