[QUOTE="vince, post: 619436, member: 10935"] One explanation that makes sense is that he got his bell rung and needed time but didn't want to go through concussion protocol and likely be out of the game entirely. Sitting out at that point, along with the sidestepping of subsequent questioning is consistent with that. He obviously can't admit to failing to report that type of injury because he wanted to get back in the game, but it's also the one injury where, short of being out entirely, taking some time to clear your head before returning is understandable. The "looking out for #1" comments also seem consistent with that scenario. It would have been dumb of him to hide a concussion (if he did), but it would have been dumber for him to completely ignore any symptoms he might have been experiencing to stay in the game at that point. One thing is pretty clear. We're not going to know what really happened, and Matthews is willing to take shots to his character over clarifying the situation. That too seems consistent with the concussion theory. [/QUOTE]
