hondo in seattle Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Since the emerging science tells us that Covid-19 is primarily spread through respiratory droplets, a modified mask would be a huge help.

Some sort of covering actually on the helmet face mask, while not impeding breathing, would only benefit the individual. Additionally, people are getting confused that you get this through sweat, which you don't. Pile ups...OK, maybe an issue, but again it is not like these guys are face to face over an extending period of time.
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Lol ?, I have to wear a N95 mask while repairing inside meter sets and can barely breathe. I can't see any NFL player wearing one and not passing out after 2 plays.

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 I dropped that pass because my visor was fogged coach I swear. I ran the wrong route because I could'nt hear the audible through the motocross helmet I swear.

No, all the medical experts are in on a conspiracy. They want to trick us into wearing masks so they can.. uh... make us look dumb? 2 1

All kidding aside, if these masks previously depicted work, and proven and don’t reduce oxygen intake, why not. I don’t also see why they don’t have those long sleeve shirts underarmour thing, and gloves to increase protection if it really helps. I don’t care about inconvenience if they are more safe for them and their families and friends. I would add, why not add just a little time for young guys to bring out a fresh, clean towel after each play if the team adapts to a no huddle and wipe off and then cleaned. Whatever helps these guys out for now until we have a vaccine.

Can you imagine a big name going down because they couldn't get enough oxygen in and CO2 out? Would they just call it brain or heart cramps if it did happen to minimize the bad PR? What if it happened to McCaffery? 1
badassgixxer05 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 In the winter a lot of guys where the ski mask head covers anyways. not sure why they wouldn't just wear those. 1

Now I don't know what to think. Come on sheeple, pay attention to what is going on around you! The masks are to keep the 5g poisoning inside of your respiratory system. That is why there is a right way and a wrong way to put a mask on. If it is just the same all the way through, why would they even have a "backwards or forwards". Wake up! Also Ron Paul said stuff. AND my neighbor is an audiologist, I know its basically just a graduate degree, but she makes everybody call her doctor, so I know what I am talking about! Edited July 10, 2020 by Mango 1 2

I can't see any NFL player wearing one and not passing out after 2 plays. I don't believe they would pass out, but I do believe it would interfere with their peak athletic performance, and that they would find it hella uncomfortable The efficiency of an N95 also depends upon it making a seal. Part of full fit testing of a HCW is to simulate job duties (bend, turn head, etc) and when that's done, a lot of masks that initially seemed reasonable in fit don't cut it. I can not imagine an effective fit on a player undergoing the physical violence of an NFL play. That said I think they're intending some kind of plastic shield/filter combination. Still liable to leave players feeling breathless

Because it is away from your face, in the grid work of the helmet face shield. Like the representation of the Chicago Bears helmet mock up in this thread. ...and our masks today aren't full proof, and I am not saying this are necessarily, either. However, the question is why not still try? Edited July 10, 2020 by dollars 2 donuts
