    It probably means that he is one of the many players in the league that refused to report it when it happened.

    He certain seems like a solid citizen, that appears more important to this management group. Lets hope he stays healthy.

    No problem with this. Uncapped year 1 year deal. Guy gets concussions oh well. If he has one this year he wont be back next season.

    Yea probably. It makes you wonder how many of these guys have unreported concussions though. We're shitting bricks because of the reported ones this guy has, I wonder if we knew about all of them if we'd still be so concerned.

    I'd probably go find a Jofa helmet to wear while I was watching games if I knew how many went unreported. I get nauseous as it is when I see a guy get his bell rung that badly. I almost puked when I saw the hit that put Boldin on a stretcher in '08.

    this guy sounds like, if healthy, a great pickup. he definitely has a nose for the ball, which will be key since he will get opportunities thanks to revis and cromartie.

    i think this might lead us to drafting a safety a bit later, possibly rolle in the 4th, since we can let him develop and get used to game speed again.

    Like the signing. Pool is a baller and for a 1-year deal, it's a low-risk, high-reward move. I'd still like to come out with another S/CB from this Draft to add to this D.

    I'm not so sure how low-risk it is if he ends up being the starter and we don't get a safety early in the draft.

    Low-risk money-wise for the kinda playmaker we're getting. However, if we get a S in the draft, are we gonna roll with 5 next year or is Ihedigbo a goner?

    Yea, money wise I agree. It's tough to rely on a guy who reportedly has had 4 concussions and missed a bunch of games last year because of one as your starter though.

    As depth, yea I'm fine with it.

    Cheap depth w/ great talent can't be to much downside

    Yeah I agree with you on that I jumped out my seat and said what a cheap shot. The one that almost made me puke was the Tommy Maddox hit and the one that happened to that Bills dude a few years back. But the LT on Theisman was really bad.

    After I re-watched the play a few times, it wasn't as much of a cheap shot as I thouhgt at first, but it was just a sickening hit. I got my clock cleaned a number of times playing ball, but nothing as bad as that.

    The time frame from the moment of impact to when Boldin hit the ground like a sack of shit and his body looked completely life-less is pretty fucking scary. Everytime I see it, or a vicious hit like that, I'm thinking to myself, "That guy is fucking dead."

    Yeah you could say it wasn't cheap shot since people play in the NFL to play at full speed and nothing less. Like Ray Lewis would call that a clean hit I think since he would say we play at full speed on every play.

    The worst part, to me, was how his legs were still crossed at the ankles even after he was on the ground for a while. That reminded me of the Michael Irvin hit in Philadelphia.

    Hopefully Graham or Earl Thomas magically falls.

    Take a look at what people are Tweeting about what Tannenbaum said about Brodney:

    ...and I agree. Going to be great now that he's on a dominating defense.
