I read they hooked up an AED and I am familiar with those. It determines whether the person is in arrhythmia or the heart has stopped. In his case since they performed CPR it was not an electrical issue so they used compressions.
AED stands for Automated External Defibulator, so if he was hooked up to one they did use it. Whether it delivered a shock or not we don't know. But if his heart stopped it wouldnt release a shock.
My presumption as well on page 4/7. Hope the kid is feeling better today.To shoot down another misconception about last night here's Troy Vincent on the alleged 5 minute warmup to resume.
"I’m not sure where that came from," Vincent said. "Frankly, there was no time period for the players to get warmed up. Frankly, the only thing that we asked was that [referee] Shawn [Smith] communicate with both head coaches to make sure they had the proper time inside the locker room to discuss what they felt like was best.
I'm curious to know where the 5 minute thing came from. If it isn't true them someone started the rumor somewhere. The 5 minute thing has had people very angry on social media.To shoot down another misconception about last night here's Troy Vincent on the alleged 5 minute warmup to resume.

"So, I’m not sure where that came from. Five-minute warmup never crossed my mind, personally. And I was the one. ... that was communicating with the commissioner. We never, frankly, it never crossed our mind to talk about warming up to resume play. That’s ridiculous. That’s insensitive. And that’s not a place that we should ever be in."
The league postponed the game without any timetable for a make-up date.
I think that came down initially from the league office, until they realized the severity of the injury.
Your post is confusing to me and you quoted me.
It may have been a standard response from the league when no one really knew what was going on. Or it could have come from a lot of sources as it is apparently done after most lengthy game disruptions.
That's the NFL's standard rule when I guy is seriously hurt and they've taken care of him by carting him off the field or whatever. Teams are allowed 5 minutes for a lengthly stoppage to warm back up. Until the officials hear something else that's what they have to go on. It's not their call to stop the game indefinitely. Once the decision seems to have been made by Vincent and Goodell the officials went with that decision. Which as it should be the decision relied heavily on the coaches input regarding mostly player emotion.
People just have the deep rooted desire to shit on the NFL even if their reasoning has no validity at all.
Adding, sorry for the confusion.
If it actually took a vote by players to stop the game from being started back up, the NFL will deserve all the shit in the world.
Who said that's what it took?
