They can at least put the teams logo on them.

Despite the aesthetic, if it prevents our players from getting concussions and put into the protocol, I hope the players wear them. I hate to see players miss time due to their egg getting scrambled.

If mic'd up wasn't filtered we'd get to hear a DB tell a WR he looks like a reeruned dick the first time they lined up with one on.

I can see those things sticking or not glancing off other players helmets and causing a neck injury. Broke necks vs concussions? I don't know.

I bet 3-5 seasons from now they're mandatory for QBs.

I would hope that helmet manufacturers have tried developing helmets with these types of safety measures, and if they did, they probably have some basic impact data already. Maybe the NFL has access to that data?
You can file this in the folder market Things You Think About When High: There are circular saws and spinning blades that stop spinning the instant they hit human flesh. I am sure everyone has seen the videos. The sensor reaction time for the blade is insane. I know because of the violence of the game it would probably be impossible, but I always think why can't we develop a helmet that uses a sensor that detects a specific amount of pressure, or some other data, that would instantly deploy some type of safety system inside the helmet to protect against concussion. No, I have no idea what type of technology or system in mind, but I did say I thought about when I was high. Like, those protective inflatable suits or whatever you can get for riding a motorcycle or whatever, that are suppose to inflate if you crash. Again, edibles make me think that we can calculate to the exact second when an eclipse will happen and how long it will last. We can build a telescope that literally can see millions and millions of light years away, which is basically looking into the past, and we can build robots that help brain surgeons. But we can't make a safer football helmet? Like, give me a ****ing break. |

Long snapper center and special teams all should consider this and yes even RB.

Not too long ago I watched a video on YT about how common ceramic tiles could effectively stop bullets. The kind that we probably all either have seen or have had in our bathrooms floors. Along the way they actually described the physics involved. It was a pretty interesting little video.
Which got me to thinking tonight. Essentially what those tiles did was disperse nearly 100% of the impact energy of those bullets across their entire surface almost instantly as they shattered into dust, and thereby reducing the bullet's penetration to just a couple inches. So why not do something similar inside a helmet? Now, the problem obviously is the helmet would be a one-and-done type of thing, which wouldn't really be cost-effective. But I was reading an article in either Popular Mechanics or Scientific American about new materials that could be re-formed by running an electric current through them. It might someday be possible to make tiles out of a material (maybe simply iron-infused ceramics?) that could re-form itself via electrical current after each big hit. Maybe. I'm not a scientist or engineer, so I'm sure there's a small pile of technical issues to deal with before something like that could be used in the NFL, but the tech is being researched right now.

I think the guardian caps could lead to more spinal cord injuries at game speed if players wearing them had helmet to helmet at high speed. Those adhere more than the high impact plastic. Also makes your head bigger.
