4merper4mer Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Our QB has a concussion and obviously the problem is way bigger than just one player. The NFL acts like it cares and we all complain about the lack of penalties, or excessive penalties, or selective enforcement but take a step back and look at the big picture. I think any lawyer worth his salt could put the NFL in serious jeopardy w.r.t. their attitude towards concussions and leading with the head. How? The Los Angeles Rams. Look at their helmet. I'm not sure if everyone has seen nature shows about actual Rams but those things slam their heads together at an alarming rate of speed. How can the NFL reconcile the Rams helmet, which clearly encourages leading with the helmet with their supposed concern for player safety. You could make a case that some other helmets give the illusion of forward motion but the Rams is BLATANT. Don't be surprised if this ends up in a case somewhere. Other, lesser culprits could be seen in the helmets of the: Pats, Bills, Chiefs, Titans, Jags, Eagles, Vikings, Lions, Bucs, Panthers, and Seahawks. 2 2 14 4

The defender often turns their head down at the last moment just like....a ram. The other factor is that so many games are televised and these guys have probably all watched Ram games. 1 1
TroutDog Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Another question: is it farther to NY or by train? 2

What in the holy hell does that have to do with the team's mascot?

Mods... close this thing. OK.... What in the holy hell does that have to do with the team's mascot? A mascot is a mascot, I get it. In sports, some of these have violent imagery like Raptors or Sabres, some don't like Jazz or White Sox. That's all good. But the Rams are an animal with one go to move. Head to head contact with a big windup. The teams helmet doubles down on this.

I think 4merper4mer and BringBackFergy must be "brothers by another mother". An open question remains: Is Gugny their misbegotten child of love? 2

There is no implied motion on the Colts helmet like there is in some other helmets including ours. I guess it could be debated one way or the other but the Rams is blatant.

I think you should be concerned about the Browns. Not only do you not want to be hit in the head by that stuff, you don't want to step in it either. ? 7

Moose Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 The RAMS helmets are one of the best helmet designs in the NFL!
