George Pickens - He's probably right but now's not the time.

It looks like Pickens deleted the post but here's what he said:

I haven't checked but I wonder if he deleted it.

[Craic]

Okay, just checked and he did delete it but I reposted it in the OP. I'll do it here as well.

I know it is not appropriate....but that is actually on target...

Right!!!

Adding to that: the NFL calling down and giving the teams a “5 minute warning” is on par with how the NFL feels about player safety.

They (NFLPA) said that the 5 minute thing was bogus…

Maybe I’m taking it too literally, but while we can all agree that the Dolphins handled the Tua situation badly it’s a ridiculous statement to make. Guy stops breathing, Dolphins medical staff would administer CPR just as quickly as any other team’s.

I’m not really one of those guys that says, “too soon” or “bad taste.” I just don’t think it’s anything close to an apt comparison and I don’t think criticizing the Dolphins medical staff at this point does anything positive or even interesting.

Like I said, the criticism at the time was justified, but the point of criticism is to get people to reevaluate and learn from mistakes. I believe the Dolphins medical staff most likely did that already and they will never make that mistake again. At any rate, a comment like this by a player now, in this context, certainly will do nothing to improve the Dolphins’ staff going forward.

I see nothing wrong with his post.

That is not George Pickens. He does not have a twitter account, just an Instagram.

That is not George Pickens. He does not have a twitter account, just an Instagram.

My guess is, if this really wasn't Pickens the original poster was smart enough to realize a defamation suit would/could follow.
