NFL Week 7 -- I Goff at your Darnold

And God, for thou hath been forsaken.

Bears fans know all about not knowing the shining light of God's love.

They'll be mandatory throughout football within five years.

 

I should not have read that while on a video conference call.

 

I could be wrong about this, but I remember reading that James Daniels, an offensive lineman, was the first player to wear one of them in a regular-season game.

Shrug. I'd still rather see precautions being taken rather than doing what's been done forever.

 

I've always wondered about the percentage of players on the offensive-defensive lines with CTE and/or repetitive consussive issues vs the glory boys.

Linemen smash heads almost every play, especially the interior guys. Those build up. But it always seems like we're hearing about the receivers, backs, linebackers and QBs with issues. Would be interesting to see any percentages by position group.
