Why would some slapdick watching TV in the booth carry a more weighted opinion than the other medical professionals on the sideline actually interacting with the players?


That's simple enough -- for the same general reason people in the replay booth can have the final say about a ruling on the field...perspective. The replay officials use tape, the medical personnel would use an expanded view. Up there, observers can get a good view of everything that is happening on the field while someone on the sidelines could easily miss something happening away from the ball or one the far sideline. The idea isn't for them to make the call about injuries, it's just for them to single out possible dangers for the sideline personnel to look into, especially when players aren't returning to the sideline between plays.

So, time running out and team driving with no time out. Over the loud speaker the dive alarm from Run silent run deep sounds Dive alarm

Play stops. Booth says defensive player touched his helmet and this is a danger sign.

This gives offense time to set up for winning field goal.
