    How soon will we see

    Those cushioned helmets they’re using in camp in real games ?

      Wouldn't they interfere with your arms when you reach over your head?

          I don't think we will see those helmets, but have been thinking for years that there should be something over the helmet for better protection to the player wearing the helmet as well as the player getting hit by someone wearing the helmet. My thought was something along the lines of a gel type material like you find in cell phone cases.

            I always believed it would be something like this but much smaller..

            I can see them adding micropads around the helmet but these current balloon heads are ridiculously large.

              I think they’ll have some form of helmet padding soon.

                Probably as long as it takes for them to figure out how to put team logos (and potentially other adds) on them without looking stupid.

                Can't cover up the brand on game day.

                  Deebo had a nice helmet he was developing. Kevlar inside.

                  I will tip my hat to Tomlin if he has a winning record and the team makes the play-offs in the upcoming season.

                      i was thinking about that.
                      maybe they change it around and the logo goes on the front of the jersey.
                      like the nhl

                        Post game interview: I know i wasn't looking when the pass came, but i had gummies before the game. When i picked up my helmet, i guess some got on there. I have the thank the QB for his accuracy - It didn't he the ground, right?

                          NFLPA always looking to help players play longer and safer. Perhaps they could flip it n go jell pullover first on the players head then covered by a close to traditional helmet.

                            In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                              You've solved their problem!

                              It's funny because I don't dislike NHL uniforms.

                              But I think I would hate that change...maybe because I hate most change ...
