There's a reduction because they're half speed in practice 🤣🤣🤣 dumb as hell

I see a couple of options. First, if the guardian cap is so good, why not put it inside the helmet? Wouldn't it provide as much protection on the inside? It might require a redesign of the helmet, but they're being redesigned all the time anyway. Second, since the NFL is going to allow the players to choose whether to use it on game day, why not also give the players the option of using the SAFR helmet cap?

I gotta say, as a football fan going into the medical field, I love this decision. Head injuries are no joke, this could massively help with CTE if players wear these over a career.

I mean the biggest issue with Football is that it’s dangerous. That’s it. The NFL has to do everything in its power to sell people on how it isn’t. Personally instead of the guardians caps. I would love the NFL going the Rugby route and say you have to tackle in the midsection of a player only, and as a consequence the ball carrier cannot lower their shoulder.

Don Beebe gives a thumbs up, Lord Darkhelmet says use the farce.

Marketing of covering your helmets is questionable.

It’s a good idea. you can paint the caps to look like a normal helmet or just make a better helmet. Speaking from experience as a linemen, anything that helps protect your head helps because the line gets vile sometimes. Edit: kept watching and if you think it looks ugly just increase the padding on the inside or add more air. Sacrifice comfort for safety every time. (Btw I think the Vicis 02 looks amazing, if I had the option to use it I would)

Hard times make hard men, soft times will make soft men.

Cant believe people be arguing aestetics vs safety of a human being...

Hopefully soon they will be able to miniskirts during regular season games 🙏

The players should have the option to wear them if they want, and if it is widely adopted, we'll see Guardian Caps with logos on them real quick.

Fuck No...

I got a concussion in practice before these were available.. I'd definitely wear it.. fuck how it look..

i bet it'll be mandatory in a few years. as it should be. if it looks stupid but works it isn't stupid.

Give them ankle braces and chest protectors too

Should be optional

Players' long-term health trump aesthetics everytime without question. I strongly believe the padded caps should be permited (assuming it's the only NFL-approved option). Aesthetics should only be considered if the two options offer similar function and injury-prevention utility. I think the NFL has an ethical responsibility to inform players of potential risks (concussions, CTE, etc.) and permit the use of additional safety equipment. The players should still have the right to pick their actual equipment.

Tua is so happy now 😂😂😂

Cool dude

They may look a bit stupid ( though I’m sure things will be done to improve the athletics a bit ) but if you all want the game to continue and don’t want to see the future generations of athletes move to soccer or basketball to avoid head injuries I suggest you all get used to it.

They need to take the helmet as we know it out completely. Make the new "helmet" out of the guardian cap material and they should look like the old helmet with logo etc. The lighter material will make players not feel comfy lowering their head. It'll enhance athletic play as well

Yo, what is that laugh? Lmfao. That sounds like my fake it to make someone feel better but you don't like them a whole lot so don't over do it laugh.

They make over millions and they scared to hit smh weak

Great idea, but it needs a plate on the side to display a decal.

I'm calling BS on their "stats". Those do NOT prevent the brain from crashing into the skull. If they somehow made them "crumple" on impact it would take some of the energy away from the collision. I just don't buy it. The stats are misleading. Until they use them in an actual game the stats will be flawed because there are probably alot of other reasons that concussions are down in practice that have nothing to do with those padded coverings. ✌️✝️

You can either improve the equipment or not allow players to get stronger and faster...which seems easier to implement ?

i want more high speed impact, not less

They gonna just put that on the inside and the shell of the helmet is gonna get bigger if they are going to do that. Helmet technology has already impoved leaps and bounds, let the helmet guys make the call, let them compromise. Because yeah its hella ugly.

I hate it

What a joke. Lose the helmets all together.

Hey at least Washington will FINALLY get a new design on their helmets 😂😂😂😂

I am all for it. But, let's make a Game Version. If the Players feel that they like-it, and would wear-it. I am Old Skool! That's what's wrong with ne now. Wear the Cap. Coach is correct, too.

Stop talking or listening to cam hes a nobody

Fire Mike Tomlin!!!! Most overrated nothing in sports!!!!!!

😮 my bad

I’m not trying to be mean but that laugh needs to be changed 😂😂😂

I’m not qualified but I like the last RIDdeLL

Y’all wanna be rugby players so bad. Just make the transfer!!

No don’t need them. Players get paid a lot. And they no the dangers. People need to start being active for their own actions. NFL needs to stop implementing more BS.. the game has changed so much already soon it won’t be worth watching!!

Stupidity at work... I don't think it is necessary. Design a better helmet!

goood informative video thank you

no

So the haters are "look good, or die trying".

Snowflakes.

I like it. There's a lot of strategy. Do you want a burner for a returner or a running back with short area quickness? Do you run end arounds or use cutback lanes? It's interesting.

The smartest players who want to add another contract to their career will wear them. Especially if they've had a head injury previously. It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL or a big college works with company to produce a new standard for helmets to get the best of both worlds.

Question⁉️ what 🐴 🕳️ do you fire when the head injuries, statistically and overall seriousness, stay exactly the same, only to spend millions on rebrand and new equipment, just to go back to the good ol' plastic. Lacross tried this, i think, and ended up going back to plastic, why would football be any different

All I have to say is who won the division

No
