with an sport starting up is easy...but all it takes is one player testing positive and it’s a wrap
Do you guys think they will alter the helmets in anyway? Or is it too late in terms of a production and implementation standpoint?
I'm sure some of you have seen those mock ups of helmets that have the face completely covered up. Some of them do look really cool.
I think to compare it to the UFC is just not possible. 2 men in the ring plus their trainers. Maybe they train with a dozen people in gyms but where? Gyms have been closed, they can easily train with specific sparring partners in well monitored.I don't see the logic in altering equipment if everyone on the field has been thoroughly tested. You can't contract a virus from thin air.
The NFL needs to start testing players now so that they're always ahead of the incubation period. It's exactly what the UFC is doing. Test, test, test.

I mean the virus is technically contractable through "thin air" via droplets. Thats the whole reason it is spreading like it is and why wearing mask whether N95 or not is helping.
But yes test test test, but if one player on a team gets it DURING the supposed (im hopeful) season they have to contact trace that player. That is going to shutdown teams weekly. Hell the league.
Again im not against starting up the league, I just dont see how.
Plus quarantine is a good 14 days. Imagine a QB getting it and then what he has to miss a game or two to be quarantined? Yeah NFL is all about their money but at what point will it start to look like XFL or AAF talent on the field.
Fair point. I still think it isnt a fair comparison due to UFC gathering in one area vs having a whole roster and staff of 32 teams. The NFL should def take note though. Every advancement helps.Not all states are locked down. There are literally HUNDREDS of MMA fighters with camps featuring dozens of people happening right now. The UFC is laying down the blue print.
And the virus won't manifest from nothing. In other words, it isn't simply going to magically appear on people that have tested negative. Again, there needs to be a contagious host for it to spread, and anyone hosting the virus would not be permitted near teams.
Yea I think its possible. Expanded roster, some flexibility on short term signings if positives happens. Hell even training and practices. That could lead to a lot of injuries I would think.I think the biggest question is does the NFL really want to stress themselves this much in order to have the season start on time. Literally every single player(rosters will be expanded, so that could be 60+ players) will have to be tested every single time they show up to the facility and before travel and games and after. A lot of players will likely be forced to stay away from their families and friends during the year. It's going to take a lot of money, time, and effort to make an NFL season happen, but they have the resources to do it.
Maybe delaying the season is the best thing to do. I don't know.

Yeah, that's what is probably best. There are a few vaccine makers already entering phase 3 of their clinical trials. Hell, China is already giving their vaccine to its military.
We'll definitely see McKinnon in a 49er uniform. Might not be in August or September, but we'll eventually see him. The season ain't getting canceled. That is unless he hurts himself again.
