Thought this was really interesting, and since it concerns a former Fin, thought I’d post it here.
Interestingly, Parker’s injury was far more obvious than Bridgewater’s was, yet no .immediate spotter intervention?

Would love to know what the spotter was doing? Certainly not as good a job as the one in our game against the Jets.
I know everyone is praising Agholor but what about #68 that picks him up, keeps him upright when he starts staggering and then just lets him roll out for the next play?dolphin25 likes this. -
It's a great story and all what Agholor did for Parker, but... where's the outcry on this one? Where's the witch hunt of the Patriots coaches and medical staff? I mean, it's pretty damn obvious Parker was knocked out. Couldn't stand up on his own, somehow still lined up for the next play even though he couldn't even stand up straight and nobody caught it? Not the spotter, not the coaches for each team, not the player himself.... nobody. Yet we got dragged through the mud for weeks over a player that was cleared by the medical folks. Ridiculous how the media handles Miami over other teams in this league. Has anyone been fired over this blatant miss? Has NE been investigated? Will the next NE player to even be touched kept out of the game like Bridgewater did as "punishment"? Has the media been on and on and on about it? Of course not... Instead it's... oh what a great story this is one team mate looking out for another! Pretty sad really. Hope Parker is doing well though, and good on Nelson for doing the NFL's job for them.
