WACO, Texas -- Acting head coach Jim Grobe said Monday he has talked to Baylors assistant coaches, all from former coach Art Briles staff, about staying focused on football for the final four games of the regular season.I think were in a situation where everybody wants their perspective to be known, and I dont think thats a bad thing. ... So I would not say that I want to put a muzzle on our coaches, Grobe said. My problem is I want to focus on the 100-plus great kids and I dont think we can do that if were fighting other battles right now.The Bears are coming off a 62-22 home loss to TCU, their second consecutive loss after a 6-0 start.On the night before that game, the assistant coaches and several staff members issued a statement on Twitter expressing their support for Briles, who was fired in May. They were disputing claims by school regents that Briles knew of an alleged gang rape.With the players wearing all-black uniforms Saturday, as selected by seniors for the rivalry game, a group sold black T-shirts supporting the popular former coach outside the stadium before the game. The shirts had the hashtag (hash)CAB, which stands for Coach Art Briles. A banner with those letters was flown from a luxury suite inside the stadium during the game, and some players reportedly had those initials on black bandanas they wore.I have no problems that they care about Coach Briles, Grobe said. I just think if you get too caught up in making statements, you play terrible, and thats happened. ... Id like for everybody to spend a little more time focusing on football.After their worst home loss since 2005, the Bears (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) play Saturday at Big 12-leading and ninth-ranked Oklahoma (7-2, 6-0). The Sooners will have two top running backs returning while the Bears have benched career rushing leader Shock Linwood for attitude issues .Baylor quarterback Seth Russell said Monday that players and coaches have talked about being 100 percent focused on football for the rest of the season.Coaches came in yesterday, and said they feel like they let that stuff kind of get to them a little bit, and theyre not going to let that happen anymore, Russell said. Theyre going to stay focused on us. ... If we lose, its our name-on-it type deal, and they dont want to get embarrassed like we did last week. Coming off the field, we didnt feel like Baylor.None of the assistant coaches has been available to speak with the media this season.Grobe said he has no questions about whether the assistant coaches care about and are fully invested in the players. But he also understands that their focus can be affected.The tweet Friday night was in response to what four Baylor regents said in a meeting with editorial board of the Dallas Morning News. The previous week, before the Bears lost by one point at Texas, there was a Wall Street Journal article when regents first provided some details about some of the allegations.It just seems like every week somethings going to come out, and a lot of times, its a rehash, Grobe said. Im not so sure its not a culmination, it just built and built and built and built until finally its a boiling point.

Vapormax Plus Scontate . PAUL, Minn. Independent medical observers stopped five NFL games in 2015 and two so far in 2016 -- the first two seasons in which the Medical Timeout has been employed as a method to identify players with major injuries or possible concussions.In its 2016 Health and Safety Report , released Tuesday, the NFL said an average of 29 health care providers, including two unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants, attend games. Many of them, along with on-field officials, can rule a player out due to a concussion or other severe injury.In a new move last season, the NFL stationed athletic trainers in spots high above the field and allowed them to watch replays -- and to call time out if they saw injuries that otherwise went unnoticed.Rams quarterback Case Keenum stayed on the field after his head slammed to the turf near the end of a game last season, spurring questions about how well the new rule worked.In this seasons opener, Carolina quarterback Cam Newton stayed in the game despite repeated hits to his head, including one that left him doubled over on the sideline.TThe report offered no new data since preliminary figures released in January accounted for 182 concussions over the 2015 season.dddddddddddd That was a 58 percent increase over the same time period in 2014, and a 25 percent increase over the average from 2012-14. The NFL has suggested that the increase is partly due to an increase in awareness and reporting.An Associated Press report released the same week as the NFLs concussion data found only 39 of 100 players surveyed across the league were more concerned about the long-term effects of concussions than those of other injuries.Tuesdays report also touted the NFLs new Play Smart, Play Safe initiative and said the league and its owners have pledged $100 million to support medical research and engineering advances, in addition to $100 million already being spent on medical and neuroscience research.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
