Hilltop Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 The face shield may be uncomfortable for some but under the circumstances it makes complete sense. The more we can limit player to player spread, the higher the likelihood we get to play a season. 3 Quote Link to comment

Wide receivers and cornerbacks average about 1.25 miles per game, so most players run less. I think you and J.J. Watt are wrong and that would not restrict or feel restricting at all. Thus, you think football players should play for you and endure what you think they should be able to endure. J.J. is entitled to not play if he feels that wearing a shield is too restrictive. Feel free to read the article and debate J.J. on it. I related to it via running. It makes sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment

My apologies for whatever I've said to you that keeps your poison flowing. Please, forgive me. I'm a flawed human. 2 Quote Link to comment

I've never made the argument that players should endure whatever I think so I can watch them play. If you look at my posting history I've been on the complete opposite side. If a player feels this is restrictive and doesn't want to play in it they should be free to opt out. However, there are a lot of players who want to play and won't feel this is restrictive and it is a legit design that could help prevent the spread of covid that would ultimately mean no one plays regardless of their feelings. My only point was that a piece of plastic several inches from your face and fully open at the bottom does not restrict your breathing in my opinion. Disagreeing with you and J.J. Watt doesn't mean I think they should endure anything I think they should endure. That's a really large leap on you part. Quote Link to comment

My bad then, my apologies ... it sounded like you were saying in your post, "I think you and J.J. Watt are wrong and that would not restrict or feel restricting at all" and thus would/could/should just "suck it up butter cup". :-) Enjoy your day. Quote Link to comment

I started doing the old Hershel Walker routine. I alternate doing push-ups and sit-ups during commercial breaks. I don't run 5 miles in the morning because... running. I also have some resistance bands hanging from a door. anytime I pass them I do a set of whatever. I don't wear a mask during any of this 1 Quote Link to comment

Not sure but good idea to look at Hockey. I don't know anything about Hockey. Here's a link I found that talks about some options that have been tried along with pros and cons. Also seen a lot of sites that say you can spray a anti-fog treatment on. Not sure how well it works. https://blog.purehockey.com/equipment-tips-tricks/pros-and-cons-of-hockey-face-protection/ " While hockey full shields offer face protection similar to a cage, steam tends to fog up the full shield, and some skaters complain the ‘bubble’ is too hot. " This was in the con bullets for full shields. This article also implies something to think about. It might be difficult to put in and take out your mouth piece which some players like to do between plays. Also harder to clear sweat from eyes and drink water on the sidelines without having to take their helmet off. I am inclined to think that a full face shield is not a good idea for football. This is all based off of my very very limited perspective. Quote Link to comment
