    Offseason rule changes: Will Damar's injury result in changes?

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    There's no need for a rule change.  It's a one in a hundred million shot. Unfortunately, that still is a non-zero chance.  It's happened in hockey a couple of times--one guy (Chris Pronger) even went on to have a HoF career.   

     

    Hopefully, Hamlin will live a long and full life, maybe even with football as a part of it.  But there's no need to change the rules for what is essentially a freak occurrence.

    There is no rule change that can prevent what happened...it was just a freak occurrence...a hit that occurred in the exact location needed at the right time with enough force to cause that issue...I don't see anything they can do short of potentially requiring some protection for that area in the jersey/padding, etc...

     

    I did read somewhere that some softball pitchers choose to wear extra protection over the heart to prevent this type of thing; I guess that is one possible rule change.

    TUA in Concussion Protocol Again!

    I know it’s insensitive, but if Tua did take the team down the field on the last drive and win the game against GB, would he still be in concussion protocol right now?    Sorry, based on what we’ve seen with Miami, gotta ask the question.

    Definitely agree, and Tua’s health is #1.. but interesting that he didn’t self-report any symptoms after the Bills game that the Dolphins won and he made a big play to help that win. That was way worse than what happened against the Packers. 

     

    It's not insensitive.  His health is not his first priority and it certainly isn't the team's.  The league needs to fine Miami over this.

    Thanks for posting this good nugget.

     

    If Araiza can punt farther but with the same hang time as (or less than) Haack, wouldn't that give the returner a running head start against the defenders? Just wondering. 

     

    A punter certainly can outkick his coverage.  That's why the hang time stat was discovered/invented (in large, as a response to Reggie Roby with the fins, who could seemingly kick a ball into the clouds) to begin with.  It's a delicate balance.  Directional punting, which fell out of favor for about 25 years but seems to be regaining a foothold, can combat that.

    So, I’m not even sure what I’m posting about here. But given this initial shake up, I’m keeping my eyes out for anything that makes sense. Whether it be taking over someone’s season tickets or trying to get a group together or buying a season ticket package with a group of other people and divvying them up, maybe even TBD fronting the PSL costs, but then get a group to buy individual games…. I’m just throwing things out there… 

     

    Does anyone see a situation where they would like to get together with something with all options currently on the table for discussion?

     

    I completely understand if this is an interesting to anyone given that we all have different circumstances. I’m just seeing what sticks.

     

    I can't do it but I was in Schopp's Sabres group for a few years and know the mechanics of it, if you need help.  If so, message me on SS.  --11.
