Chiefs Players can wear guardian caps in game now - Page 5

Every DB in the league should be wearing this :-)

To reduce player risk and continue driving innovations in equipment technology, Guardian Caps have been authorized for in-game use this season.

Imagine an o-lineman wearing it and getting called for lining up offsides with his giant helmet cap over the nose of the ball.

Ha! Jones also getting into it in the comments and debating science with the science people.

First of all, the caps have never been used in a game so there’s no study in game. Secondly when we do use the caps is never live.

With that conclusion of course no one will get hurt.

Yep, pretty much! The phrase "bubble wrap generation" has literally finally come to fruition!

This game is getting harder to watch more and more every year. Bad enough, having women referees, let alone all of the rule changes and hamstringing defenses in those rule changes for the most part.

The only rules I will agree with is helmet to helmet, o-linemen protection of engagement of only 1 person, negating chop blocks, sacking QBs below the waist and blindside hitting defensless players not involved in the play. However conversely, I have never liked the horse collar rule, regardless of how many knee injuries have occurred. Weird I know, but just never liked that particular rule. Too old school, I get it.

I'm sure they do.

I'm sure they hated it when helmets and pads were introduced also.

Now whether these helmets can make much of a difference, I guess isn't settled. But I'm at least open to the possibility that it could.

Health versus other peoples laughter. I'll take health so I can make millions more and be able to enjoy it, instead of worrying bout others thoughts.

Pretty much why no one shoots free throws granny style in the NBA.

People are more concerned about being made fun of than doing something effectively.
