This is basically paraphrasing what I said a page ago, which you then tried to use against me in the training camp thread. To quote you, when I made this exact point I was "dictating that the league and teams dont know how to coach tackling or prevent concussions as well as you."

Yeah that’s a drawback for sure, and I’m a huge fan of his play.

Darren Dutchyshen, longtime TSN broadcaster, dead at 57 (msn.com) RIP Dutchy. Will miss his politically incorrect humour on TSN. It all falls on Jay Onrait now...

It feels like football at large is throwing random crap at the wall to deal with concussion issues. Rather than having a well thought out multi pronged approach with defined success criteria. If it was a revenue concern you know they would have a much better plan and process implemented. Direct impacts cause concussions for sure. But, change of direction hits and whip effects cause a lot too. Guardian helmets, the new gen helmets, next gen and beyond next gen helmets are all mitigation on a fraction of the causes. Not prevention. It doesn’t matter if you have the 1 piece shoulder pads and helmet or a perfect absorbing piece of future gear. Moving at high speed then being forcefully stopped quickly is terrible on the brain and body. No piece of gear is going to stop your brain sloshing in your skull. What is needed, to start, is a change to the culture of bringing guys down. Technique changes reinforced by rule changes from the grass level on up. Better gear is always good to have, better self protection when it comes to absorbing hits and going to the ground is as big.

I've had hangovers like that myself....especially after the last Grey Cup...

It’s either a real good thing that our rookie camp cuts are being picked up or real bad that this is the best the rbs can do. Our camp talent level is extremely good, maybe it’s lazy or maybe they really liked him in scouting previously.

SIGNAGE SIGHTING! https://accesswinnipeg.com/2024/05/krispy-kreme-winnipeg-construction-update-may-2024/

I fear I might be getting "darned with faint praise" here....lol....jk Cotton... Not sure why with that handle that this isn't your avatar....

wrapped in 10 pounds of bubble wrap....

Ronnie Brown? I've heard numerous people say that he's the quickest and most agile running back currently playing in the game! Not as fast as your response, apparently. Hahaha! I appreciate a person with equally sharp wit to I.

kind of like Mark Messier - in those last two years of his career he was skating around looking like he had a piano tied to his butt. He didn't seem to get it that his days were over, and so finally it had to come to no one wanting to sign him for him to realize it was over. Too bad. And too bad that teams like Vancouver and New York were still enabling his delusions. I heard that he's pretty fast.

Looks like Ottawa signed the cut RB Ronnie Brown

Yeah...but some people around here like to spin things to fit their sad narrative and uninformed view....it's expected

Not to speak for him...but I haven't seen him say they shouldn't wear them. Just that they don't stop a huge aspect of the problem.

Now your just being a fool...bordering on a jackass....like really?

I know a couple folks connected to the jets (they just know people) and they are saying it wouldn’t surprise them at all if Todd Nelson is the guy here. Coached under Bones. Chevy is a fan. Oilers kinda screwed him when he was there. Going for b2b ahl titles. Willing to integrate the youth. Jets job is actually quite inviting for coaching guys. They don’t suck. They ain’t rebuilding. Think it’s prob one of the top openings available honestly. It is actually. Don’t get the insane media like Toronto does either. Not to often an opening for a team with 110 points opens up.

Last thing I’ll say about biggie. some guys know when it’s time. others need to be told. biggie needs to be told. I’ll say this. I don’t want to see his career ended on the field getting carted off. Just like I don’t want to see Ric Flair die in a wrestling ring.

True. Hard to get and keep a spot if you keep going to IL. Opens the door for other guys to win the job.

Day one of rookie camp. WRs/DBs waiting for physicals.

I want to see Collaros out there wearing a super-sized Guardian!

I thought Clements signed with the argos and was moved to the retired list. Argos known to make clerical errors tho. Yes Bryant was just an example of another guy getting up there in age who will have to be replaced sooner rather than later. He might play another year and I hope he does, thought he looked more off last year personally but that could have been any number of things causing that. Just an example of guys who we need to have a succession plan for. I’m a big bighill fan. He was very nice to me and my daughter at a signing a while ago and every time I’ve seen him he’s said hi. It’s just time. Injuries catch up quick on some of these guys. 36 isn’t young for a football player.

Clements or Wilson yes, Cole no, he doesn't have the size, knowledge or the experience to play MLB, he said yesterday in an interview he's just a bigger DB, which is where he played throughout college.

Imagine the spearing penalties! Jokes on you Booch, with the size of the Guardian every hit is now automatically a headshot!

Don't wear a helmet because it won't protect you from hits below the shoulders. Don't wear shoulder pads because it won't protect your knees.

The guardian design will be replaced. Something more aerodynamic to allow for quicker acceleration, sensor rings to collapse during contact, and advantage to defenders during a field goal and punts. This French prototype could be popular.
