00:00All right, I don't want to hear anything other than reality here.

00:06You're a surgeon and you cannot tell me that you aren't concerned about Chris Olave's multiple

00:15concussions.

00:17And as far as I'm concerned, two is the same boat, multiple concussions.

00:21Neither one of them can take a hit.

00:23I think both of their futures are at stake here and I don't want to hear about, oh, it's

00:29their decision, it's their body, it's their family, it's their letting.

00:35I cannot believe the NFL even lets these guys with multiple.

00:38There should be a number you hit and if you go over five or six concussions, you're finished

00:42in this league.

00:44Yeah, you know, we tracked Olave that this was his fifth, but you know, they're saying

00:50it's his fourth.

00:51It doesn't matter.

00:52It's two in two weeks.

00:54He's going to be out at least a month.

00:56No neurologist is going to clear him for a month.

00:59And at that point in time where the Saints are, it might even be season.

01:04It's multi-week at least, so definitely, I don't think he's close to coming back for

01:08multiple weeks.

01:09I think it would be dead wrong.

01:10I don't care how minor the concussion was.

01:12I don't care what the circumstances, two in two weeks, you have to sit out for at least

01:16a month, if not the season, or as you suggest, potentially more, but you can't put him back.

01:22He's not playing this week.

01:23I'd be shocked if he played next week, you know, got to take care of him.

01:28How bagged up are the Bucs going into this game at Raymond James against the Niners?

01:32Well, you know, the Niners are the ones getting healthy, right?

01:37After their bye week, we talked about CMC, Jordan Mason, Debo, Samuels healthy, everyone's

01:41healthy coming off a bye and you know, the Bucs had that Monday night game and of course,

01:46all their wide receiver core are still out, right?

01:49And so yeah, the Niners definitely have an advantage there.
