Happy Birthday to both one of you bastards!
Happy B-Day to you two Mill! We love you man!

I really like how well HC Marrone gels with his players

What a sad ending with the president,
the writer/producers know how to sap every drop of emotion out of its viewers,
I was on the edge of my seat hoping the helicopter wasn't going to blow up, end of story,
Jack lives on!

I just hope his safety play was a result of him adjusting to a new position and being a natural fit, and not the result of scheme from our former DC.
Same goes for a few guys on D, actually.
You have good players and you have great players, what seperates the two IMO is the great players in this league are able to step up and make big plays when the team really needs them. It appears A Williams is turning out to be a great player.
Williams was also asked to play cover corner again last season due to injuries in the secondary and did a spectacular job.
A Williams has quickly risen to the top of Bills MVP's IMO ...
-
I'm skeptical, mainly because I think it might be a better idea to get used to the playbook at a slower pace, gel 1st running the plays, then move on to the no huddle,
but also trying to keep an open mind because it does put Defenses on their collective heels when the Offense is in sync.
-
F5!
The application Edwards arm speaks of in more of a larger scale could be used to protect structures from high winds/ F5 IMO...
-
There is another way to reduce torque/rotational forces. A helmet should have two layers: a hard outer shell and an inner layer. When some rotational force is applied to the outer layer, it will rotate along with the force. But the inner layer does not rotate. As a result, the rotational force isn't transmitted from the outer layer to the inner layer. Or at worst, it gets transmitted but largely dissipated.
Reduced friction/cohesion/duration of impact, which in turn reduces torque.
It's a good point and should be designed into the new helmets to help protect from neck injury IMO.
Note: I would like to see shock absorbtion added to the exterior of the helmet, hard shell in the middle, it might be possible to use round gel balls mounted to spin freely on the exterior and accomplish both applications. By doing so with smaller, freely rotating balls, even the torque created from more of a head on collision would be reduced IMO.

They have had fluid filled helmets out for a while. The air chambers are more popular but have since gone the way of a gel pack.
These helmets are that futuristic.
Schutt has a great helmet and it's very comfortable.
These are a lot better then the old blue tube crown types most of us probably wore and still wear.
If you played football at all as a kid, the next time you're at a sporting goods store go look at the helmets out there now-a-days. They're amazing.
they?
-
I'm curious how they are going to counteract environmental variables. These gel bags probably have varying refill times due to change in temperature and viscosity.
Good point
It's possible you might be able to design the helmet to have a fitted chamber or net surrounding the head that round gel packs could be poured into so when it comes time to replace pour the old ones out and the new ones in.

Dog, can you please elaborate? On behalf of the well over 50% of the well over 1,000,000,000 homeless people in our country who suffer from mental illness, I am interested to know why you find studies on football helmets a more valuable use of time. Thanks.
Honestly Gu,
Focusing on the solution, which would be better head protection, then testing/ applying it in one of the places we see a high number of head injuries occuring (NFL) seems like the most logical approach to tackle the problem, head on so to speak IMO.
Note: It does not surprise me lower or no income equates to more injury/and or illness in general (IMO)
-
Perhaps a better helmet? Why do you think that anyone cares about making a better helmet today? Certainly money, but the publicity that has been raised by looking into the lives of former players is the reason that the NFL cares one iota about player safety.
Public awareness, hmmm
good points, thanks
-
why?
What is the correlation between homeless and head injury going to tell us? what will it accomplish?
-
Anybody here read about head injuries and homelessness? http://www.scienceda...40425104714.htm
interesting stuff, makes you wonder about what this sport could actually be doing to the brain. Also have to consider how people not in the sport, might just get effed over in life once and that's it. Sad.
Studies like this are a waste of time IMO...
-
Can someone post what the Twitter status says?
CBF
@SalSports @john_kucko Jill Kelly refuted this and said they won't know until August, but added that the cancer didn't spread.
-
That was going to be my question to float out - does protecting the head end up making guys more likely to put it where it doesn't belong causing other issues?
While I agree that some players may become even more reckless because of the added head protection, the added shock absorbtion would still reduce neck injury IMO.
In combination with league rule changes focused on reducing head injuries the better helmet could help preserve the game of football we have all come to know and love.
In earlier discussions here on TBD I've mentioned possible ways to help protect the neck by using 3 flexible shock absorbers that are connected on both sides and the back of the helmet to the shoulder pads in 3 places. Doing this without restricting head movement is the hard part.
Note: The outer hard shell of typical helmets used as protective gear needs to be modified to have the same shock absorbtion as the inner helmet to get the best results IMO. (Put the hard shell in between new shock absorbtion technology perhaps)

UF duo designing a better helmet to curb head injuries

Sounds like someone finally decided to practice what I've been preaching for a few years...
Thanks for turning me onto this article bandit

Tuel fan myself

Dislike normally comes from getting beat or knocked out of the playoffs by another team.
So I hope a few seasons from now we're not so likable...
-
I'm a fan and keep hoping for that breakout season,
but I have to go with CJ Spiller
-
While I believe Watkins will one day become Manuels number one target, Robert Woods is a step ahead of Watkins when it comes to chemistry and Woods is going to be the Bills most productive WR this season IMO.

I Just seen this today ,
