League to allow Guardian caps during regular season

M.S. : 8/29/2024 8:30 pm

And Colts TE Kylen Granson and S Rodney Thomas will be wearing them.

I thought it was odd when the caps were introduced a few summers ago that they weren’t immediately mandated for the regular season. I think it’s now just a matter of time before vast majority of players wear them.

I wonder how many players

Will use it and how many will raw-dog it. Does the impact feel the same when they wear one?

I last wore a helmet playing high school football in the early 1970s… I have no idea! (:-)

I bet

OL, RB, TE will be first generally. WR and QB last

They don't look so dopey on players

when they put put the colors and logo on them.

Probably a good idea for everyone to wear them, but who knows what the adoption rate will be.

Put a sheer fabric skin on them with colors/logos

and we’ll get used to them in minutes.

similar to when hockey players first started wearing helmets

That caught on pretty quickly and then was mandated.

if it protects against head injury, you would be a fool not to use it

Remember

When they developed those shells for pitchers. Those didn’t last long.

Especially for OL/DL

The Dude : 8/30/2024 12:27 pm : link

IF the stats are true, I'd imagine many will be wearing them in the next 5 years.

Take out the health of safety of your future out of it (for the sake of my point lol)....you cant play if you get a concussion, you need to play to get the new contract, you need the new contract to take care of your family...etc etc
