The reduction of contact in TC and practices has absolutely effected the defenses in recent years. We're seeing poor form, leading to injuries and poor effectiveness of defenses. Sure, it results in big plays and higher scores, but football being a game where 30+ points from both teams is just going to be laughable. It'll turn into the NBA. The mark of a good defense is consistently holding teams under 21 because scoring 3 TDs is SUPPOSED to be hard. If you score 3 TDs and a couple field goals, you should win. Defenses can't practice stopping an offense when they mentally have to turn on the ability to be an absolute animal on Sundays. That's a tough ask.

Further reductions to training camp contact? :thinking:

My money for the 'further reductions to training camp contact' point is that's just there to make the negotiation easier for the Players Association. That's one of the built-in "We can live without this if you provide [modification to the drug policy, etc]"

You go into the negotiation fighting for more than you expect to get, knowing some things will end up needing to be dropped to get something else.

But if the NFL accepts it, the players would gladly take it.

Glad the players have a union that's standing up for them. Can't have football without the football players. This sport has been skewed too far in favor of ownership for too long. 

Unions are good and I’m glad for them too. We should have more of them in this country.

The sport continues to evolve and the players union is playing a significant role in that process.

The current NFL may appear as antiquated for fans 50 years from now as leather helmets do for fans today..

Wouldn't surprise me. The more info that comes out on CTE the worse it looks. I think anyone and everyone always knew that repeated blows to the head weren't a great thing, but I don't think many thought it was going to end up looking as bad as it seems like it's ultimately going to turn out to be.

      25-26 NHL Regular Season Thread

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!

      When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
