Guardian Caps

I agree with Watts take. I don’t think moving the “shock” of the first hit to week 1 (of the preseason) will really have any bearing but it does seem odd they’re super worried in training camp but not at all concerned during games.

they do look funny, but if this was pushed as the norm all the time, people would get passed that quickly, and really F the people calling for “wussification” of the NFL. Head trauma limitations are good. Hands off rules and don’t touch the QB rules are bad.

 

Everyone should just have to wear the Don Beebe helmet

 

It was weird when hockey started with shields. Now it’s the norm.

 

The league seems worried about uniform colors and such, I’d think they’d see issue with penis helmets all over

 

Probably a little bit of both. I honestly argue their liability historically in a profession built around physical combat, but I know the story is there that they “knew” but did nothing.
We may also be seeing less kids pursuing football because of parental concerns for head injuries, so it will affect the future. Plenty of other factors there, but I think that’s a legit concern for NFL.

 

So it would almost be beneficial to rip of the band aid of goofy looking padded helmets and just implement. Could mean the future of the sport.

 

LOL
