I DISAGREE!!!
Any player is going to tell you he's alright if you ask him. If I don't think he alright I WILL send him off.
Last night I had a player get up from a tackle holding his head and appearing woozy. I asked him if he was alright and he said yes. I watched him walk a few more steps; he still appeared woozy to me and I sent him off.
If, to me, a player appears injured, I will call an official's time out for injured player and send him off or call for the trainer.
