Black helmets plz!!!

Not possible. NFL rules state you can't switch helmets during the season in order to limit concussion risk because the fear is that in changing them some players may not get a helmet that fits as well as the they wear on a regular basis. It's probably overly cautious but the NFL really can't be too careful with the concussion stuff since it threatens the existence of the game of football.

Clearly you haven't been around here long.

This seems like one of those things that sounds true because it somewhat makes sense, but isn't why things are the way they are...

Which is absurd because helmets have little impact on the occurrence concussions, nor are they designed to.

I believe, though I'm not 100% on it, that it has been shown that a properly fitting helmet lessens the risk of a concussion more so than a helmet that does not fit properly. Basically if it doesn't fit snugly then that is an extra collision your head can make when hit violently.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree with you, if all things are equal--assuming we are on the same page as to what that means.  If a DT and OT are there at 19 and you have them equal, which do you take? The DT would be rotational and get 25 snaps a game or so, and the OT is probably a reserve for most of the season.  What if Walker plays out of his mind and Ickey comes back strong? To me, there are just too many variables at T and Morgan met the needs for 2 starters.  Nothing about that screams lets "go OT in round 1" to me. I could see an Edge or a DT at 19 before I see OT.  I could see a TE or S before an OT--and I (personally) would rather have an OT over DT, Edge, TE, or S--but I do not see the logic.  In fact, CB is a position that resembles OT--who do we have behind our starters and are we happy with Smith-Wade?  A CB would be on the field more than a reserve OT.  How is the Walker at LT situation different than the the Bryce situation? He is basically on a 1-year deal and if he is injured, Forsythe becomes Pickett.  Would you take Simpson in the draft?  Dont get me wrong--I usually agree with you  and I get your point.  I am an OL guru--but I just do not see this particular group of Tackles making us better than Walker.  In addition, I think we can address OT once the Ickey situation clears up.  Short arms, poor run blocking, issues with strength--I am simply not impressed with the OTs.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      The natural progression of ANY QB is to take more control of the offense.  Which is all Dave said. He doesn't have a narrative to push. He is says what is the natural thing to say in this situation whether it's Bryce, or any other QB.  THE THREAD TITLE ALONE TWISTS THE NARRATIVE.   so yes, many of you refuse to acknowledge anything other than your screwed perspective, for whatever reason, when it comes to Bryce.  Y'all have a great Easter.

      Tony Pauline’s 2026 NFL Mock Draft 4.0

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Players drafted after 19 in his mock that I would take before the WR: Monroe Freeling OT, Ty Simpson QB, Dillon Thieneman S, CJ Allen ILB.  I don't mind that TE in round two but Caleb Lomu OT and Brandon Cisse CB would also be good value.    EssentiallySports
