New helmet wouldn't have prevented DJax concussion

DeSean Jackson has nothing to lose trying out a new helmet that could reduce the possibility of a concussion.

Two concussions in two seasons are reason to reach out for any available help for the ultra-talented Eagles receiver.

But unless we're totally missing something the safer helmet wouldn't have prevented Jackson from passing out on the hit from Dunta Robinson three Sundays ago.

Robinson cracked Jackson in the upper chest and chin, not the helmet. Jackson was out before he hit the ground. It's doubtful there is any helmet that could have prevented that concussion.
